According to people at friendly's, the local police response was "underwhelming". Guess they were too busy watching the traffic circle.

GreensboroMike don't be so Rash....... The elements of the crime tell me this- 1. The suspect attempted to wrestle away the victims purse = Assault...... 2. The suspect did not get the purse = Attempt Robbery. The charge would be Assault And Attempt Robbery, and is a Felony. A purse snatch is something different, and a Misdemeanor depending on value. What are the elements of a purse snatch?

Must of been too busy at the traffic circle. They called your house and requested your expertise in policing but there was no answer. Maybe the police don't care and were there just collecting a paycheck.

Actually, the were calling for the duty officer at the Sheriff's Office during the incident and they had a hard time finding him.....business as usual.

Bchevy,
Didn't hit home with me. I was not the victim. It's just funny by the comments that are made by some of the writers. Like it matters that the duty officer was trying to be notified. He is in the office doing administrative tasks which is all the way in Centreville. The incident occurred down on Kent Island Island. What was the duty officer going to do, beam down there like Captain Kirk? How would there been a quicker response if the duty officer answered?

If that's the case, why bother to have a duty officer? Whay bother to notify him?
Keystone cops strikes again!

Shoreman, I have not a clue on why the duty officer could not be reached. Maybe he was in the can. Maybe not. I don't know the answer nor does it matter. How would there of been a quicker response by the police just because the duty officer was made aware right away. How do you know dispatch was trying to reach the duty officer. Did you read that in the newspaper? Was it even the Sheriff's Office call or the State Police call? I was not there so I have no clue nor do I care. When I'm off, I'm off. I'm not sitting at home listening to my police radio.

For the uninformed, the suspect in this case has been caught. Response time was less than 10minutes. Don't judge all of the police in this county because of a few. If you want more say, push for a county wide police force with an appointed Chief of Police. He would be accountable daily and not just every four years. While you were safely home playing monday morning quarterback, some poor schlub was willing to charge in to help a stranger for a meager 32k/yr. Easy to be brave online!

$32,000 - Thats all we pay our police? Well, sorry. Please answer me a question. Lately, I've been bombarded with phone calls from different police organizations collecting/fundraising for their retirement, scholarships, memorial funds, etc. I am all for you guys getting better pay, but don't you have your own retirement funds and pensions or is everything really that bad that you need to solicit donations constantly from the public?

Let's see, a car to take home and use when off-duty and not pay for gas, wonder what that is worth?
Overtime anytime you want to work it to the tune of at least $10,000 or more a year.
Free uniforms so you don't have to buy work clothes, wonder what that is worth?
Retirement program where you get an additional $200,000 when you retire. Cry me a river.......

The bene's are nice shoreman, but the pay would barely cover my mortgage. Then there would be food, utilities, school lunches, internet, college tuition, clothing, children, home repairs, etc. Other than driving fast, and occasionally getting the chance to shoot someone, where is a persons incentive to persue a career in law enforcement?
BTW: It sounds like you're talking yourself into getting into that field. Go ahead, join the local police force. You've got my support!

I just hired a 23 year old Administrative Technician (secretary) for her first real job, and they are paying her $48,500.
And the most dangerous thing she has to deal with is her electric staple machine.

I agree that 32K salary is low. How much time off does the secretary get? Maybe if the cops gave up some time off they could pay better salaries. I guess it's up to them to decide what's important.
