yep....guess with the little mini crimes that are listed here (shooting, drugs, etc), the cops of spd don't need pay increases to get them closer to the salaries of their counterparts, sheriff deputies and state troopers, hell that means they don't even need more officers to help fight crime oh wait that's what the council did for them this year

well lets put it this way after how the officers and civilians were COMPLETELY DISRESPECTED AND CONTINUE TO BE ABUSED by the people that are supposed to look out for both the men and women that keep the city safe and for the safety of the people of salisbury, you will be lucky to be able to have an officer respond to a call.

Guarentee 1....walk in and ask the officers of SPD how they feel, and you will be shocked by the discontent, and disatisfaction that they have with their employment status. Can't gripe about something if you don't have a solution proposal right?....Guarentee 2... mass exodus has begun from SPD (employees looking to find a place that will take care of them)
