Maryland Governor Cuts Millions From Budget

The Maryland Governor today cut millions of dollars from the state budget, including millions of dollars to Wicomico County. This could have negative impacts on the ability of agencies to fund their personnel. However, the last thing we need to do, especially in a bad economy is cut funding to law enforcement agencies or law enforcement officers. Because when the economy gets bad, people get bad. The last thing we need is less cops on the street.

I understand that this blog is mainly for law enforcement personnel, but you do have non-LEOs who read it. Would it be possible for you to publish a guide for the general public, on how we can help the police to do their jobs?

Cooperation between residents and police officers seems to be missing around here, especially in the city. Part of it is that people are scared of their neighbors, another part is that dispatch is sometimes insensitive to callers. And some of the officers come off as arrogant, while the public comes off as angry and un-cooperative.

What can we, as citizens, do to ease the tension and form a working relationship with our officers? What can the police do to regain the citizens' trust and cooperation?
