The ROT has been riddled with problems for many years now. They would have had adaquate police presence had their department not go the route of being one of the most crooked in the country at the time.

The Sheriff can have that sewer there, between budget cuts, milage contstraints and only having 1 car in the township it's hard at night to get response in 2-10 minutes there.


Sure they will love the county because they will put 4 cars in there and they will be 2 man cars and response times will go down. Then they will trash talk the State Police and the Sheriff will say "who needs them, they are slow and lazy" and his point will be well received because MSP only has 1 car in the township.

Its not their fault. They also must remember that MSP will work a township but they dont sign a contract and they aren't paid to do such.

Police shortage

I just don't get it. Violence is up in most areas. But when a jurisdiction is low on funds the first thing they want to cut is the police. As if they don't have enough people sitting at a desk managing. Some of the managers should be cut first! Ditto with a lot of corporations. They are always trying to save money by cutting their workforce but they leave their managers alone. A council person of our city is running for Mayor and states if she is elected she will cut the police budget.....Go figure...she isn't getting my vote.

I wonder if some of that $190 MILLION of tax payer's dollars our Government is sending to Palestine could have helped alleviate this situation?

I am afraid the Michigan State Police will become a Highway Patrol & Special Services Agency! The Sheriff Departments will becone the main law enforcement agencies in Michigan in rural areas.


If she does that she have a fight from me in the worst way possible.

We should sacrifice her to the terrorists.

I think you should start with the Township, County, and State budgets before jumping on Federal spending as the solution.

They have already been cut to the bone! Michigan is in serious trouble. I just think the U.S. should take care of their own first.

So why are you picking that specific line of the budget?
