Well, you folks did great with me on the weapons qaulifications, I am in need of some more advice, this could be a long story so please take a drink now
and read on:
My humble little village is blessed with a housing area for financially challanged folks!
I have about 45 apartments that are spread out through a 1 block area in size. They are half Wood structures and half brick. I have been flooded with complaints of drugs and partys. The people whom are complaining will not call the police when the situation is developing, they are scared and wait to call the following morning when I come in.
I know several of these people and they are good hard working folks whom are trying to get ahead. I am limited in resources and man power. I have one officer on per shift, and I agree with my fellow officers that it is very unsafe at times for one officer, and zero radio communications when your out of the vehicle. Me and other officers have come in on our own time and made several attempts to thwart some of this activity, they will of course run, get caught and nothing will happen at the states attorney's level.
We are no longer finding cannabis, we now find crack/meth/and powder coke. Does anyone have any ideas on tactics to employ for this? Or have had anything similar in thier jurisdiction?
one other point, My SO has attempted to help as much as they can, however they too are short handed with three deputies per shift and over 900 plus miles to cover.
