I am certain you, along with many others have often wondered at one time or another, exactly where the police officers and emergency workers are after you have called them. Sometimes it takes, literally, hours for them to respond, which results in tempers flaring, and an altogether unwelcome attitude when they finally arrive at the scene of whatever situation is at hand. Believe it or not, with the exception of an odd case or two, they really were not at the donut shop, nor were they sitting parked a couple of miles away, listening to your frantic calls and laughing. These brave men and women are, in short, understaffed. With crime rates as well as the number of emergencies (most of which being crime related) rising steadily in some areas, and the number of badge carrying police officers and certified emergency workers declining, this can only make a bad situation worse. The decline in police officers is due to many different reasons, to name a few: injuries on the job, deaths on the job, and at times, misconduct on the job. However much we try to believe they are supposed to maintain perfect lives they are after all, only human. Some of them are going through or have gone through more drama in their personal lives alone than most people see in a lifetime. That added to the daily drama they work around, can have a negative impact on some people, leaving them jaded and angry at the cards they've been dealt. Some of the understaffed statistics, nationwide are shocking in their severity. The more rural areas also tend to have far fewer police officers or emergency workers than are required by the governing bodies. There are many reasons that affect this shortage of officers and emergency personnel, and one main one is how each city regulates the pay and support of their employees. Many cities have mayors that do not stand behind the police departments or their officers, or do not support the decisions or needs of emergency workers. Although they have some of the most difficult jobs to do, they receive the least amount of support, both financially and morally. Cuts in budgets most often reveal themselves in local police departments through a lack of proper accessories pertinent to performing their jobs, as well as pay cuts. Recruiting new police officers and emergency workers is proving to be a vast dilemma in most cities and states due mostly to the lack of sufficient funds to offer excellent incentives or benefits packages. Money, although mainly important, is not the only determining factor in whether or not new recruits will sign on with each respective department. The lack of support, both legally and morally is at an all time low. If police officers and emergency workers are made to feel unappreciated, they are slowly forced to withdraw emotionally and physically, resulting in a lack of human contact in their jobs. This not only heightens the chances of potentially harmful circumstances, but also allows the criminals to see a break in unity, possibly encouraging them to perform criminal acts more brazenly. It all begins in the city or state government. Rally for support for your local police department and emergency workers. They need all the help they can get, and the more people that show their
support and appreciation, are liable to effect a change in the laws that govern pay and benefits for police and emergency workers. Follow the workings of the city council, and keep up with the changes made. Do not let your city fall into the hands of criminals, that although they are in suits and ties and they were elected to their position, they are criminals all the same if they are cutting the budgets for police departments. Being understaffed is a big problem, and it will not go away until it is dealt with properly.
