What is the deal with crime prevention districts in EBRP
Posted on 2/28/16 at 1:41 pm

I have served 20 yrs in law enforcement outside Lousiana in one of the largest cities in the United States.
Today, I had someone tell me how important it is to have a crime prevention district in the area I live in. It's not like I helped set up neighborhood watches and patrolled neighborhoods in my career! Lol. I seen what works and this seems like a money grab with no real plan once they collect the money.
I asked a few questions and this bozo only knows how to get money from me in taxes. He has no idea how to fight crime in a neighborhood.
News flash 20 hrs a week is not going to do much if people don't join together and get out to know their neighbors. You can have a lockdown neighborhood with 24 hr security similar to a prison without a good plan you will still have crime.

I don't know. That's some serious overtime.

Obviously not 20 years in school.

Sorry, I was to busy earning a degree from UCLA and holding down a full time job protecting the community I lived in.

I certainly could not have gotten into UCLA. At least I'm willing to admit it.

Isn't that what George Zimmerman was doing?

Citizens believe the city police or the sheriff (depending on where you live) isn't doing enough to fight crime in their neighborhoods so they vote to tax themselves such that they can pay for extra off duty cops to patrol their neighborhoods.
I have never bought this strategy. Citizens should make their local government accountable.
One of the main things people should have is a safe place to live and if it takes more cops and more patrols then the local authorities should make that a priority and quit spending money on lesser items.

I'm confused
You went to college and then became a police officer?

A lot of these districts are relatively crime free to begin with. The home owners pay for extra patrols that generally only result in increased traffic citations against the very citizens paying the money for officers to be there. Now I'm all about slowing down in communities but that is really all they do. To fuel the fire, the money received in citations goes 100% to the PD/Parish/City. The citizens pay EBRPD/BRPD twice (or three times depending how you look at it).
I've called EBRPD twice and the responding officers were on-duty (not being paid by district). EBRPD has a money making machine on it's hands.

Thank you for explaining this to me.
I moved from Torrance, CA a few years ago.
This seems to be the norm for Baton Rouge similar to neighborhood watches in the 1980's.
People who are wondering about UCLA.
Yes, I attended and graduated from UCLA in the early 1980's.
I had a very good guidance counselor in high school that pushed my classmates and I to aim for Stanford, UCLA, and USC. I also had strong recommendations from alumni and my mother was an alumni.
If I did not start a hardware business with my friends I would have stayed in law enforcement. Once you get through the first few years it is hard to leave the stability.

Shenandoah is a crime prevention district but I've never seen a sheriff in the neighborhood.
