CSP's"Phenomenal" Support for Law Enforcement

"It is phenomenal . . . I've never seen this type of assistance from any other Congressional leader in the past."

Those were the words of Rochester Police Chief David Dubois in recognizing Rep. Carol Shea-Porter for her work in helping to secure well over $500,000 in funding grants for the Rochester police department.

That funding has allowed the city to purchase a state-of-the-art crime van, laser-guided measurement tools for accident reconstruction and crime scene investigation, laptops and more. Officers have also received training on the new technology thanks to the Congresswoman's office, Dubois said.

Thank you, Carol!

Now we can add law enforcement (0.00 / 0)
to veterans and seniors among the groups Carol has done so much for, despite the stereotyping done of her by the red team.

CSP is truly an outstanding congresswoman (0.00 / 0)
I was happy when she defeated Jeb four years ago, but never imagined that she would be such a passionate and effective advocate for the people (and causes) most deserving of support.
And, if past is prologue, you can expect her to get better. (0.00 / 0)
That said, the law enforcement purchases seem qualitatively better.  Under Bush/Cheney, Homeland Security was quite generous distributing hazmat suits that require special training of the users (accomplished during a little taxpayer funded sojourn in our nation's capital), whose specialized skills then justify a salary increase, commensurate not just with the specialization, but with the obligation to provide regular and routine maintenance for the equipment, regardless of whether it is ever used.
Keeping equipment well maintained is, of course, one way to keep law enforcement busy as the rate of violent crime drops.  What I'm hoping for is more training in accounting and how to investigate fraud.
