From afar, it's pretty difficult to see value in the Office of Community Safety. Added bureaucracy, added cost, with seemingly no improvement in coordination or function. Maybe we just had the wrong guy in Barnette? How could he not see the $20MM in overspend by MPD? How do we end up with the poorly conceived and managed Violence Interrupters? How do we end up with the poorly conceived and managed Behavioral Crisis Response?
The city has a spending problem. Might be a good time to streamline. Hire people to lead each public safety department who has clear accountability, and is capable of working with others.
