I HOPE THEY GET LITTLE CUTE OUTFITS LIKE THE GUY ON RENO 911

Carr's a good man. Thompson is heading in the right direction. We've got some good times ahead of us.

Are Wayne and Jerry Dating? They always seem to show up together?????

If the Chief means what he says, why are their 2 and sometimes 3 patrol cars on San Marco Rd. by Vintage Bay sitting there for hours? How many businesses are there to interact with? This is an every day occurrence. I doubt that are many more patrol cars on the road at that time so almost all the patrol force is in one place sitting door to door talking not patroling or interacting. Talk is cheap, lets see some action.

Exaggeration is cheaper. Let me guess you sit there for "hours" and watch "them"? Right... It's called traffic enforcement; I've seen them (usually one) there too...just like CCSO used to do as well. I know they hide there so I slow down, we both win. If people didn't speed, the cops probably wouldn't have to sit there and stop cars, or would you prefer that they just report to the speed related accidents after they occurred? I have seen them run speed traps all over the island - Collier Bridge, the highway in front of the Marriott, in the school zone. Leave 'em alone they are trying to a tough job, and they are doing a good job of it.

Look at the picture and someone tell me what he's doing with his right hand. The guy in the gray sports jacket seems to be enjoying it.

Support Our New Chief!!

Forget the 250 applicants, Naples had only 125? The reason, posted qualifications, far to broad for the position, that's the answer.

This man was choosen because he has been at Marco from the outset, has proven to be a dedicated and hard working employee and has been loyal to this city! He's is likely be a little differant, less faness and avoidance, more brash and stieght forward, good qualities if people are not overly sensitive.

He's out of the starting blocks in good fashion and is making effective decisions. The recent elevation of the above employess indicates that he too is following the guidelines that allowed him to prevail in the selection process.Undeniably, marco Island must hire many that are, or were not qualified for a large police agency.This is not necessarily bad, however good management can produce a very good employee product given the Marco island Community dynamic.

It's up to them now, so let's do our part and get behind the new team.

Diazk: An analysis of your previous posts demonstrates a consistently venomous and odious outlook of law enforcement in general. While you attempt to demonstrate competency, your knowledge and comprehension of law enforcement methods is obviously wanting. Thus I will tutor you. One common tactic is call crime prevention. There are many sub-techniques, however most involve visibility. The Police obviously seek to prevent crime, fights, injuries, thefts, littering, and DUI by being at local saloons periodically while they are open and at closing time as well. This procedure is neither avant guarde nor confined to Marco Island, and has withstood the test of time. Secondly, these providers of sprits pay taxes, and desire moreover deserve the same community policing services (yet another technique) that Burger King or 7-11 enjoy. Chief (not Cheif) Carr’s job does not solely revolve around pleasing you, as the needs of the many outweigh the needs of a few. He is tasked with crime prevention and criminal apprehension, thus he must deploy his officers with these missions in mind. Lastly, if your complaint is synonymous with John’s in that “dozens of cops are there for hours” then we would be in agreement, as this would be wasteful and unnecessary. But we both know that isn’t happening either. If you can find a police handbook that states the contrary to anything I have stated please cite it, otherwise your uneducated opinion is just that. I challenge you to prove my initial assessment of you wrong. Let’s start seeing some insightful and accurate law enforcement related posts from you instead of the usual “I don’t like the cops for whatever reason” posts, like Chicken Little you plaintiff cries are wearing thin.
