Big League City alright. Betts looks like your priorities are in line with the Mayor's. Unfortunately, you and the Mayor's  good "quality of life" are a little out of the "norm" shall we say....  |
Don't throw crime stats in our faces. Police officers arrest criminals, not prevent them from committing crimes. Do you seriously think a rapist is going to check the staffing numbers of OKCPD to determine whether he's going to rape his next victim?
By adequately staffing police, response times will be increased, but it will damn sure not keep someone from busting in.
By increasing the quality of life, you decrease crime rates. Houston may have lower "rates" in some crime categories, but quality of life in Houston is incremental. There's a whole ward the HPD tries not to touch because things are so bad.
