Hiring more police for PTC: a way!
The military program for getting volunteers to join up to help fight the current war is working reasonably well. Maybe the police department could use some form of modified program of that to recruit and keep more police.
First thing to do is lower the bar somewhat---take anybody not in the hospital. Also for new recruits, once they sign up for several years, give them one million miles worth on Delta, ten thousand one dollar bills--in cash--to spend that week before reporting, and then 10,000 more upon hitting the car seat.
When the enlistment is up, promote them to brevet (whatever they are and one notch up) plus 20,000 dollars---5000 to the soldier, and 15,000 to his wife and kids or his Mother.
Issue each recruit Two shiny revolvers like George Patton used to carry, and free meals at Dunkin Doughnuts.
Build a police barracks in PTC where the police can stay along with their family, for free.
Consider more Mexicans for the positions. They do so well with other work, and they will also work cheap,that I'm convinced they would pick this job up quickly. Since none of the contractors around here can check out their workers for legality, then neither could the town, but....they could be given amnesty, and PTC could become a Mexican sanctuary!
It appears, from the way the military is being handled, that there is no end to the good ideas to solve this kind of problem.
If you don't like these ideas, I suggest you go ahead and raise the pay scales about 50% and just hire regular people who are very qualified.
