[QUOTE="CruiserClass, post: 2025197, member: 61332"] Nobody wants to let thieves walk free, but nobody has the manpower to deal with it effectively. We had a multi-jurisdictional task force that made some inroads in to shutting down professional chop shops, but we don't have to deal with the border crossing stuff which makes it easier for us. Even then, the Kia thing started up and auto theft skyrocketed again. Plus every winter the folks who leave their car running with the keys in it to warm it up, etc. I've got homicide detectives taking 4x the number of recommended cases per year. We've shut down most of the financial crime and fraud units to try and bulk up staffing in violent crime units. Street officers are about 20% understaffed from numbers that were already down several hundred. We still have one of the most lenient pursuit policies of any major police department, and we don't chase stolen cars. It's not worth the risk to the general public or the officers and it just leads to crashed cars. Prosecutor won't file on most of them because it's pretty tough to get beyond a reasonable doubt on most steals. "I bought it on craigslist last night" = reasonable doubt, and prosecutor's resources are stretched as thin as everyone else. When I started in this field we had a core auto theft unit (core meant jurisdiction wide, as opposed to an individual district). Today it's you get a report and it's no assigned detective. It has nothing to do with urban or rural or lack of concern. It's simply we don't have the people for it, we don't have experienced investigators in the pipeline to replace the ones we're losing to retirement or the private sector, etc. And it's getting worse before it gets better. Very few cities are putting the resources in to fixing it and society is getting more "let's shit on the cops" every year, which drives away younger people from applying. [/QUOTE]
