re: #657 Wyatt Earp

One of our deputy commissioners wants a memo from every detective division explaining why - get this - we need vehicles!

Oh gee, I don’t know …

Crime scenes.
Interviews.
Showing victims photo arrays.
Court transportation.
Taking evidence to ballistics …

When I was still working (in public service), it was my experience that the guys up at the very top had no clue, no clue whatsoever, what the rank-and-file employees actually did or the value they added to the community.
