or at least pretend to leave by the rules. but you guys, we are not even going to pretend. go out there and rack up as many arrests as you can. we have seen the mayor of memphis bragging about the arrest count, just the arrest count of this group. that is never the statistic he you really want to look at, to figure out the real crime fighting capacity of a unit. lawrence, what you are talking about is these police agencies that have become one trick ponies. they lack innovation or any kind of modern idea. they are stuck on the old policing model. catch them, lock them up, throw away the key. they cannot even quantify what success is. is it a number of arrests you make? because, if you just want to add an arrest, is that really success? is it reducing the number of reports for criminal activity that is made? what is success? and how well do you define?
