Another blow to already low Officer morale.... Call response times and pro-active police work has been and always will be based on morale. If the Officers have high morale and feel secure with good chain of command support, then crime will go down. Low morale = high crime and high morale = low crime, it should be plain to see.

I've hated the neologism "proactive" ever since it gained currency with the less well-educated. "Active" is just fine; its antithesis is "reactive." There is no need for an antithesis to "reactive." ("Which will bring us back to Do!")

Is there a map of these new precincts? Hope Cordova has NOT been left out again. It takes forever for the police to arrive at the scene in Cordova because they have to come from downtown?
