Village Constables

[Catty]

How sad for them and their families. Probably lack of respect. As the world turns, so they probably have outlived their time. The world is a more violent one, I believe thay "peace officers" are not respected by the ignorant violent few. I personally knew phil from Patch Code and he was a nice non-confrontational person who tryuly loved his job. i will miss him.

[Couragous Cat]

Two dead in the line of duty in less than a week! What the hell is going on here? Are they trained properly? Is there a general lack of respect for them? Have they outlived their time? What should be done? Love them or hate them, we don't need them dead!

[xpatchogue resident]

My Felice rest in peace and the other Constable the same. First off Felice didn't have proper equipment for directing traffic. The Village of Patchogue now issued to ALL officers vest that reflex in the dark. Day late and a dollar short, maybe it might not have save him, then again maybe it might have. As far as respecting them, maybe some of them not ALL should learn have to treat the residents and visitors of Patchogue. You have a guy named Rick, and he thinks that he is GOD. So to the families, my god bless you all, but it time for Patchogue to stop their ARMY from @#%$ with people.

[xpatchogue resident]

Can anyone tell me whats going on in the Village ? I just read the LI Advance and I see Patchogue is one of the Villages being sued about their Constables. I thought the was legal to stop people, now I heard that they might not be illegal. Pleas someone write back.

Some of the most illiterate rantings w/ a response.

[Cant Sleep]

Did you catch their act tonight, their actions and attitude towards residents and visitors was reprehensible. You would have thought they were clearing a chain weilding mob from the streets. Who gives them and SCPD their marching orders? Selective enforcement is illegal!

[off the cuff]

your right on.village board and mayor in charge of code enforcement. Go to the next meeting and give them a peace of your mind.The only way they will listen is if there jobs are on the line. Be careful though these a holes have friends in high places

[Just dropped In]

Let me all tell you something. These guys would put their lives on the line to save others. They proved that with the loss of their own. As you may remember or did you forget. First of all the Officer that was killed attempted to stop a drunk driver and that drunk drove right into him killing him in the street. As his lifeless body laid in the street people were having fun at the fireworks show. That drunk could of killed anyone maybe even your son, daughter, your wife who was walking home to see you. So thank god it wasn't your loved one..
In addition to that these men have responded to numerous fights at Goodfellas that did have shots fired and numerous crowds with other types of weapons. They are usually the first ones to respond. They do this with out any regard to their own safety and for almost no pay. Officer Taldone was killed without any compensation from the village no death benefit no workmen's comp. His wife and young children left with NOTHING!!!!!! All because he cared about you people and wanted to make Patchogue a safer and better place. You cant judge anyones actions without knowing the facts and maybe they had a reason to act the way they did. Did you know at on live at five an Officer was severely injured by a small group of people when someone cold clocked him...So maybe if they respond with a little the necessary force and then calm things down it is the right way of doing it. These men are trained most are retired Police officers, and the others have all the proper training as needed by DCJS. How many times have you seen a Constable helping a broken down motorist or seen them looking for lost kid or finding a home for someone who they found sleeping in the park or on a bench. How many times have you seen them passing by your house to make sure your family is safe and nobody is trying to steal your property. You people probably never even took the time out to pay attention. Well maybe you should. You people don't even know whats goes on in your backyard. And you will never understand the extra miles these men go to make sure your safe. So bash all you want because like I said you will never understand what these men go through.

[PINTO]

The constable died (God rest his soul) while working for the village. How can you say he had no workers compensation? He did, its the law. I am certain there were other benefits as well. After reading crap from people like you its tuff to continue to read to the end of your post but I would bet the rest is crap too. All I can say is you need to get your facts straight or your whole argument is BS.

Its obvious that you feel the village needs to pay the Hundreds of thousands of tax dollars (its probably well in excess of a million when you factor in the benefits) a year for the service.

These guys do NOT have the same authority as the SCPD. So they put their lives on the line without the authority to do much about it but wait for back-up.

Its a flawed policy having these guys out there. Leave the police work to the police and let these guys give tickets, perform foot patrol downtown and street patrol for the rest of the village. lets pay the SCPD to do the police work.

Now if you want to get our own police. I could consider agreeing with you depending upon the cost as compared to what it costs for the SCPD.

You are just a little shriveled up bean. You are also very negative -I bet you offer nothing but criticisim- what do you do to help your community? Nothing I bet except open your big trash filled mouth. JUust dropped in is Correct- go away, go to sayville where you belong.

[PINTO]

Are you kidding me? I didnt criticize anything. and I wasnt being negative. If we are going to have a police-like presence, lets arm them with the authority necessary to do the job. As far as my contibution to the community, once again you show your ignorance. There is much I have done but always more.

Your a pathetic trash mouth spewing when you dont know who your talking about.

And I have to say you really show your maturity by trashing sayville. Sayville isnt even an incorporated village and yet their main street is awesome compared to what patchogue has looked like over the years (it has been getting better though - it aught to when every resident pays in excess of 1,000 / year in speacial village taxes.).

You sound very bitter and very jealous with nothing but negative critisism

[Just droped in]

I don't feel the village should pay thousands of dollars in taxes. Taxes are too high as it is. If you want to talk about your tax issue then I would complain why they give contractors an extra $75,000 bonus to get work completed on schools. And by the way the River Ave School contractor already had two $75,000 checks handed to him. I would also complain about the millions spent on this construction and not even having a storage room built for the custodians. Or a rather small one at that. All is said was that they would put their life on the line to protect you and your love ones. If it came down to it. So give them the descent respect as you would want for yourself and stop bashing because maybe you got a ticket that you deserved. My hat goes off to them and I would like to thank them for all the help they have given to me and my family when I needed it.

[Proud Kidney]

I LOVE Sayville- my point is that ALL your past posts have been negative and insulting to many. Are you a past player or are you still involved? It sure dosent sound like it- you sound very bitter. I am optimistic about our future as a village and we need lots of work.
Things are getting done.
Babe, I know more then you imagine and things WILL get better. So, sail away or get involved.

[PINTO]

you guys must be long time residents. I dont know, maybe its something in water in patchogue??? I have not lived here that long-but,
-- i voted for PP
-- I love this village that now call home
-- I think the constagles do a wonderfull job despite their lack of authority.

yes, there is a lot to be done and i know it doesnt happen overnight and maybe now that pp has a majority (i beleive its the first time in a long time that there has not been fighting on the board) things willl start to happen.

I just dont see anything happening.

Perhaps its a lack of communication.

I hope its not secret BS and selfish agenda dealing like the new Pat-Med board of ed that has squandered 100,000s of thousands. Im in the process of trying to get to the bottom of that as well. AND I WILL!

I would like to see a village news-letter or something - they could post it on their web site if they dont want to pay the postage. but if you go to www.patchoguefirst.com/
you can see all the items that PP and his guys campaigned for:
Riverfront reviatalization
the theatre
making code endorcement more responsive to citezens
etc.

I just dont see anythng happening. If these things are being worked on , point me in the direction to find out more about the great work that is being done. Maybe ill vote for them again.

Here is an excerpt from the village of lynbrook newsletter:
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT UPDATE
It is now important for me to discuss some of the economic development news that has consumed us over the past six months.As you know,the Condo project slated for our commercial downtown area at Broadway and Langdon has gone away.There is no need to rehash
what is one by.The issue for me is the ?No Development Attitude ? with which some of the loudest voices of opposition have managed to
convince the Developer,along with a number of our residents,that he should spend his money elsewhere.He will now do what he can with his property on Broadway which,by the way,may well affect the traffic on Broadway (unlike that of the project which would have funneled traffic out to Merrick Road,via Langdon and Columbus Drive.)
A few of us who were in favor of the Condo concept accept the decision to abort the project completely, since the Developer who had enough money and the integrity to give us a worthy product,could not
convince enough folks that should something happen to him after the project was underway,others would complete the project.
CLEARING THE AIR
What bothered me the most about the sequence of events was (and continues to be as you read this)the insincerity of at least a few of the most vocal and sarcastic leaders of those in opposition. Even long
after the changes were made ? and known to all involved ? the system--false propaganda continued. Fliers with misinformation and false statements continued to be distributed and,while I recognize it is my
job to provide our residents with factual information ,as hard as I tried,I failed, for which I apologize.Petitions were signed under false pre-
tenses,but I am hopeful that most of our residents will be more attentive and objective in the future.
Almost amazingly,the vocal few continued their deception,nearly
KEEPING AN OPEN MIND
In closing,I must ask all fair-minded Lynbrookites ?whom I
know represent the vast majority of our Village residents ?to keep informed and open minded.Please do not fall for the ?scare words ? used with no factual support,with which the few try to instill fear into
the many.In-depth Studies have been made by NYCOM which tell us that developments such as Condos,a Hotel and new Movie Theater located in our commercial district, combined with increased parking as the price
the Developer must pay,will solidify our tax base by keeping the down town area vibrant.
Please do not listen to the ?No Development ?cries of the few who refuse to recognize the need to accelerate the progress made over
the last eight years.For a Village to ?stand still,?is to ?o backwards ?
and we simply can ?t afford that!Condominium construction and sales
bring vested interest and a means to invite our Seniors and Young People
to stay here in Lynbrook!A ood-name Hotel (and the Marriott is very
interested)and a new Movie Theatre (which is also in the offing)bring
outside money as well as shoppers into our Villa e.
Both should be most welcome because it helps to control the
taxes of our Residential Community,while increasing the value of our
homes.We can be proud that serious Developers see Lynbrook as a
most desirable place to invest many,many millions of dollars!We not
only can ?t afford to turn them away,we would be downright foolish to
do so.
We can all agree that we must control our constantly rising taxes.
Tax claims against the Village ($5 million over the last four years alone)
added to the drop in the Village assessed value from $215 million to
$179 million have placed a monkey on the backs of we tax payers.All
the above is what dictates your tax rate.What do we do?Sit on our
hands and hope or take advantage of the fact that Lynbrook is a most
desirable place for quality investors to put their money (approximately
$65 million --three different and strategically placed quality projects.)
Sixty five million dollars in new money can increase our assessed value
by $7 million dollars,which translates into new outside tax money from
these projects of approximately $750,000.
Please work with us who are committed to making Lynbrook
succeed.Largely through your efforts,trust,and investment in prop-
erty,we have succeeded brilliantly in spotlighting our Villa e as the com-
munity for growth in Western Nassau County.Now it is up to us to cash in
on that investment rather than thumbing our noses at those who would
support our efforts with their investments!The difference to each and
every homeowner might be measured in the thousands!
Let us open the dialog.

Here is a mayor saying it like it is with his head not stuck in the sand! something to think about even if you dont agree at least the guy has the sack to say how he feels!

When did this happen

It didn't...move on.

[stop hiding]

It didn't...move on.

We need to find out about all this

It didn't...move on.

We need to find out about all this

Well start your investigation...I doubt it if you could find water if you fell off a boat in the Atlantic Ocean.

And to the idiot that posted that they were shooting beer bottles off a fence...do you know how much noise that would make ? Use your f u c k i n head...If someone reported shots fired in an area, the SCPD would have been there in 3 minutes to see what the deal was. Plus there would have been more than just one call. Shots fired calls are very, very rare here. So if that actually happened, you would have read about it or heard about it through legitimate channels. So don't bullshit anyone with this like you think you know what is going on...

Once again...move on, find something legit to bitch about...like why your beloved mayor and his cronies have basically disbanded the public safety division and have removed most of the enforcement powers they once had to take care of the quality of life situations that happen here every day.

Say whatever you want, Public Safety lost a good man last
July, in the line of duty, doing a traffic detail so the village and their boy Grucci could make some money. Let's not forget that there was a ton of money coming in from enforcement of the village codes and those quality of life problems like the speeding cars and the loud music and the hanging out and the graffiti and whatever else you can think of. So the bottom line is, don't blame the officers, blame the leadership, especially when they refer you and your problem to the SCPD, because they cannot enforce anything anymore.

In the quest for being legally in the clear, (after no one was complaining except the mayor's friends who were getting written summonses because they were the biggest lawbreakers of them all), the board and the new Chief, decided this was the way it was supposed to be in the first place.

Now the only people that will suffer are the residents. It was bad enough when code was fully enforcing things...think of it now - look ahead - to a time when public safety cannot help you.

Remember this...the public safety division was started for a reason...what do you think that reason was ???

Nothing like trying to do your job with your hands tied behind your back...

[biggest lawbreaker]

"In the quest for being legally in the clear, (after no one was complaining except the mayor's friends who were getting written summonses because they were the biggest lawbreakers of them all), the board and the new Chief, decided this was the way it was supposed to be in the first place."

Who are the Mayors friends who are "biggest lawbreakers of them all"?...don't keep me in suspense!!!!

[open ur eyes]

Who are the Mayors friends who are "biggest lawbreakers of them all"?...don't keep me in suspense!!!!

Isnt it obvious who they are

Just open your eyes

Well, there are reasons that the public safety division's "mission" has been changed...

Like was said earlier...the quest for being legally in the clear, was a crusade started by the mayor and McGiff. They felt, as I was hearing, that there were too many things that public safety was focusing on, that was not what their real mission was.

Well, now that most of the enforcement powers have been taken away...and REMEMBER THAT AT ELECTION TIME, how can you enforce the village code and do an investigation of something if you are going to get alot of crap from the mayors office about how you do it ?

Apparently, alot of the mayors friends were getting stopped for cell phone violations and seatbelts and going through stop signs and every other violation under the sun...

Don't you think it stands to reason that when too many summonses are issued that the mayor will "just have to do something about that" ?

So what do we do ? We just say don't do it anymore. Let the SCPD do it, that's their job. This is the same guy who vowed to support the Public Safety Division after a constable was killed last year...they are making a mess of the department now and it will not be long before there will be constables standing around, just looking good, because that is all they will be able to do.

They will see a car speed through a red light and a stop sign, maybe even commit a criminal act...and they will NOT BE ABLE TO DO A DAMN THING !!!!

It is the belief of most residents, that we are better off with a division that can actually DO something when needed. Why would you hand off something that was WORKING ???

People pay a huge premium to live in a village, they deserve better than the bill of goods the board is selling them...actually forcing on them. People deserve to be protected and have personal service, that comes from high quality people that have a vested interest in doing the right thing. All due respect to the SCPD, they are not interested in that mission. Patchougue is just another patrol sector.

Well, to alot of people, it is home and the way it is going to be, it will be a home that will not be like it was...things were on an upswing. Now...well, be prepared. Once the word gets out that the powers of Code have basically gone on extended hiatus, there will be problems.

There are a ton of village troublemakers that were being kept at bay by the Code guys. When they were told to scale back and back off, THE PUBLIC NOTICES THAT !!!!!

It is a bad thing to make the rules, start playing the game, then reshuffle the cards after you deal them out...

Thanks PP and SG for this.

Make yourselves heard.

Never forget.

Demand better - you deserve better.

[LOVE CODE]

I BELIEVE IT'S CALLED "LAWSUIT" , GET IT? I USED TO ALWAYS CALL CODE FIRST IF EVER THERE WAS A PROBLEM BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO BOTHER SCPD WITH SOMETHING THE VILLAGE CONSTABLES PERHAPS COULD HAVE HEADED OFF. I WAS TOLD NUMEROUS TIMES BY SCPD TO NOT CALL CODE BUT TO CALL THEM. THESE WERE QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUES. SCPD GUYS WOULD ACTUALLY GET PISSED OFF IF I CALLED CODE. NO OFFENXSE TO THE CODE GUYS-THEY USUALLY ALWAYS WERE THE FIRST TO ARRIVE-LOVE THEM BUT UNDERSTAND THEIR SITUATION. THE VILLAGE HAS BEEN SUED BY SOMEONE WHO CLAIMS CODE DOSEN'T HAVE THOSE RIGHTS. (I AM ALMOST CERTAIN OF THIS)

[Snead OFFED]

Code did do an excellent job in cleanig up Patchogue. In fact they did more then that...They watched your house when you went on vaction, They opened your car doors when you locked the keys in it. They moved the lottering crowds away, they informed you of problems in the area, they started your car when your battery was dead, they moved along cars parked in the dead ends having sex, they found your kids when you thought they where missing, they walk people across the street, they did many things that most residents did not even know, they did not just write tickets. This administration has destroyed this unit. They did nothing for them and now when you see the village atmosphere change for the worst you can thank your mayor. Do not blame the code guys for not doing anything... It stated in the village minutes on Oct.12 2004 that all the lawsuits where dismissed with the exception on possible wrong doing by the old administration. It futher states and I qoute "Attorney Snead then noted that there was language in the decision the indicated thay Code Enforcemtn officers can make a valid stop and issue a ticket if they see something wrong, and the Village Justice can hear that case." In additon to this other minutes indicated about a past shooting occuring on Academy St, in which the Mayor suggest beefing up patrols by code. And now he takes their power away. Mr. Mayor you cant have it both ways. Stop with your own political agenda and focus on your residents and their saftey thats why you where elected. There are so many other things I would like to say about your adimistration. But I think your actions will speak for themselves and the people of Patchogue are seeing it now. Your officers are not going to put themselves in harms way no more for you...It is up to that officer if he willing to do it for anyone else. Now they have no obligation to act you took that away. Now the have the option of retreat. You turned your force into a do nothing look the other way department by no fault of them, but by you alone. Wheres this new Director I guess you gave him a no show job too. Like other officials you hired. Thanks to Mr. Mayor our streets are turning into a dumping zone again. I hope that this village can last another 3yrs with you. Truthfully I dont think it will last 1 more...........

HERE IS ANOTHER FINE EXAMPLE OF HOW OUR MAYOR IS DOING A TERRIBLE JOB. I CAN SEE ALL THE RIFF RAFT IN THE STREETS HANGING OUT DRIVING LIKE LUNATICS BLASTING THEIR RADIOS. NO MORE PEACE AND HORMONY!!!!!!!!! I DID LOOK AT THE VILLAGE MINUTES FOR OCTOBER THE 12TH AND WAS SUPRISED THE LAWSUITS WHERE DISMISSED. AND IF MR. SNEAD WAS CORRECT ABOUT THE LANGUAGE THAT CONSTABLES CAN STOP CARS WHY HAVE THEY STOPPED?? THEY DID A HELL OF A JOB CLEANING THE STREETS UP AND NOT ONLY THAT!! THEY WHERE ALWAYS THERE WHEN I NEEDED THEM...............MAYOR YOU SHOULD BE A SHAMED OF YOURSELF. IM SURE NOT VOTING FOR YOU NEXT TIME AROUND. AND IF THE RUMOR IS TRUE THAT JOE PERRY WANTS OUT. HE MUST BE THE SMARTEST ONE OF THE BUNCH. HAHAHAHA GOOD LUCK

[Sold U OUT]

The new word around the village is that they sold out the constables.....They do not want them to write summones because they want to disband them. If the residents do not see what they are paying for, Why do you need them?? This administration has been against them ever since they took office. Mr. P's position is he does not care. Sell them out like you did to every other good thing in this village.

Politics have no place in law enforcement...that is what you get when you elect a bunch of know-nothings and do-nothings into a position...

[Resident 6]

Well what would you do? I'd love to hear your plan.

[IN Response]

Someone wrote what would you do? What I would do is get them back in the street full force like they did numerous times before. In addition this is a service that the residents expect and pay for. And if the Mayor does not have the balls to stand his ground with the political pressure then he should not be in office. Second the revenue generated by that service was enormous. Now that they cannot do anything, plus their budget was slashed. We can all see where this service is going. This service was created for a reason and they think its no longer needed. Well guess what? He is wrong. Because since that code has taken a back seat the crap is starting all over again. This is what happens when you get a bunch of idiots in office plain and simple. Thats right a bunch of idiots that think the know what this village needs. Well we need our constables/code department. They did so much more than many people think and it is a vital service to our community and to take that away or limit them is not only stuipid but a loss to the people who depend and pay for that service.

Don't you all get it. If there is no code then no tickets for cars parked along west ave. This bunch of P1's are taking their lead from Mr. Dick.

Hmmmmmm, havent heard of any complaints about streets crowded now have we!!!!!!!!!

I would also arm them and make them peace officers under the NYS CPL.

[In RESPONSE]

They are armed but that also is in jeapordy. They did a hell of a job and P1 is going to let them take the blame for his stuipidity. Well if I was them I would just look the other way and watch what they worked so hard to accomplish to turn fall apart is a disgrace. Because that is what will happen. No authority means just that and if you dont have it you cant take proper action to correct it. P1 backed down to at the counties request instead of standing up like the other villages did. Thats what happens when you get involved with politics. Old Field and Belle Terre has not changed thier policies because they know the importants of protecting the residents and property. This mayor has no clue about law enforcement or the responisibilty put on the shoulders of these men and women. A year ago one was killed doing his job and that shows what they have put on the line for the residents and to sacarifice your life for this village tell you the type of people in that department. So maybe the mayor should drive around and see the impact of his changes instead of hiding from it becuase they did have a negative impact already. Or maybe hes is going blind!!!!

I guess the Mayor made another no show job for one of his cronies. Tommy De. where are you???? Oh I forgot your working behind the scenes...lol...

BNL is not even a reconized law enforcement agency. Then you tell your members they are now civilians. Well guess what you just made them targets. Thats right TARGETS. Now every scumbag that they had a dealing with is going to go after them revenge for doing thier job. A POLICE CAPTAIN you sit there with this a profess to members that did everything possible for this community and stuck it up thier asses. When was the last time you saw your friends guts hanging out in the middle of the street at Brookhaven Labs. You have no clue to what this job intails and never will. You are just a puppet sent by the mayor. Everyone knows the motives and its the residents of this village that now have the burden paying for a service that you people dont want doing anything...........

BNL is not even a reconized law enforcement agency. Then you tell your members they are now civilians. Well guess what you just made them targets. Thats right TARGETS. Now every scumbag that they had a dealing with is going to go after them revenge for doing thier job. A POLICE CAPTAIN you sit there with this a profess to members that did everything possible for this community and stuck it up thier asses. When was the last time you saw your friends guts hanging out in the middle of the street at Brookhaven Labs. You have no clue to what this job intails and never will. You are just a puppet sent by the mayor. Everyone knows the motives and its the residents of this village that now have the burden paying for a service that you people dont want doing anything...........
Actually they are Federal officers. But yes, like the National Institues of Health Police or the US Capitol Police they are really just glorified security guards.

Better to have these guys working than constantly calling the mayor because they have nothing to do

[damshame]

I hate to see these guys go..........they did so much good for our community. God bless the one that was killed last year.

Beautiful post

It will be horrible to see them go

No...it is better to call the mayor and tell him how bad he f u c k e d up everything...In these times of security concerns....you want to eliminate a layer of it ??? McGiff and Pontieri are DUMB F U C K S !!!!!

[Resident taxpayer]

Thank You for being so blunt.. You hit the nail on the head. The mayor did make a huge mistake, And did you see the speed bumbs being installed on S. Ocean Ave??? Those wont last very long someone is going to rip them right out. And you better call the SCPD when it happens because thats criminal matter not a quality of life issue. I also noticed that someone put a little memorial up for the constable that was killed. Well all I have to say to these guys is keep your chin up because we now know it is the Mayor and Steven Mcgiff and not your faults. Hey Mayor when can I expect speed bumbs in front of my house??????????? Thanks for spending my tax dollars on the humps in the road and also in Village Hall. Oh Yeah, and the humps with the no show jobs. Great job Mr. Mayor keep it up along with our taxes.......................

Beautiful post

I cant belive they are getting rid of the constables .... good luck with SCPD

SCPD IS OKAY. THE LAST TWO TIMES I CALLED CODE AND 911- BELIEVE IT OR NOT SCPD SHOWED UP FIRST. THEY USED TO RESPOND QUICKER (OUR BOYS- BUT FOR THE LAST 3-4 YRS THEY HAVE BEEN SLOWER. SCPD HAS ALWAYS TOLD ME TO CALL THEM FIRST-THAT PATCH CODE DOSEN'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY AND THAT IT WAS THEIR JOB. I ALWAYS HATED TO DIAL 911 WHEN ONE OF OUR CONSTABLES COULD PERHAPS DEAL WITH THE SITUATION.

[Never forget]

We should never forget the constables who have given up all for us.

[honor them]

We should never forget the constables who have given up all for us.

They gave the ultimate sacrifice for our safety

[down by the river]

That post about SCPD showing up first seems like a post that was written along time ago. Anyway if you have called PD and Code for the same reason Code hears it on the PD radio and will respond 9 out of ten times. Second reason also could be Code is now referring most of thier calls to Suffolk because of the new changes. Code did so much for this community and it is a shame to knock them....Dont forget one year ago one died trying to stop a drunk that could of killed anyone of us.....My hat goes off to them

They are always out there for us

Good people have good things happen to them

[Store Owner]

Hopefully it will turn around for them. I would like to thank them for helping countless times from watching me and my store.....bless you

[Down by the Water Too]

The last time I called Code and 911 OVER A YEAR AGO, guess who came first? SCPD. It used to be the other way around. I have noticed the last few years that code does not respond as quiclkly as they did many years prior, but i still love the guys and respect them too. SCPD has told me for over 10 plus years to call them first. this way all complaints are registered and it will show a pattern that they might need. they have always told me that they are the POLICE not CODE> I would rather call Code and then let them refer them off if necessary, but the SCPD has made it clear for along time. That is the truth.

[Susannnn Wallls]

The SCPD reponse time is amazing

[EX-CON]

NOBODY HERE IS BASHING THE SCPD IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM. THEY DO HAVE AN EXCELLENT RESPONSE TIME. ALL I WAS SAYING IS THAT. I WAS INFORMED THAT CODE WILL NOT RESPOND TO ANY MORE CALLS THAT THE COUNTY MIGHT ALSO BE CALLED OUT ON. ANOTHER WORDS IF CODE GETS A CALL FROM A STORE OWNER SAYING THERE IS A FIGHT IN REAR OF THE STORE. CODE WILL NOT GO, EVEN IF THEIR OWN DISPATCHER GIVES IT TO THEM. THEY WILL NO LONGER TAKE ANY ACTION THAT THEY HAVE IN THE PAST. EVEN IF IT IS PLAIN SITE OF THEM... I WAS TOLD THIS IS BECAUSE THE MAYOR AND NEW DIRECTOR DOES NOT WANT THEM TOO. THAT MEANS YOU BETTER HOPE A SCPD IS AROUND IF THE CRAP HITS THE FAN AND DO NOT BE TOO SUPRISED IF YOU SEE CODE JUST DRIVING BY. IN THE PAST THEY WHERE PRO-ACTIVE AND NOW NON-ACTIVE. ITS A SHAME

[the LC hit team]

THE SCPD has handled everything real well stop putting them down

[GOOMBA 5]

Code has not changed; they never had authority to do vehicle stops (nor the training)

they can still break up fights (village code), still stop public urination, still ticket any village law.... they should stop crying about unable to stop cars for cell phone tickets and get their fat asses out of the cars and enforce the VILLAGE code...go PP& P1....

And why do you want to know? Spending some time behind DD

[pvdps]

The only reason that they stopped doing what they were doing is because of a lawsuit that was thrown out three times and the village board = pussies, wanted them to redirect them to other things.

The person who brought the lawsuit was someone who was doing something ILLEGAL in the first place.

No one complained until this happened. Now the Village residents are wondering what happened. They have no answers.

Pontieri and McGiff and scumbags.

you make a lot of sense ...let me guess, a fired code idiot??? :oops:

[pv resident]

No, just a resident and a taxpayer who gives a shit about what goes on is his town. Gotta love fixing what isn't broken.

oh pam shut upa your mouth

You people just don't get it...If we have to explain it, you wouldn't understand.
