Reply to comment by darsavage in Why are all these New Yorkers going to the Baltimore Police Academy? by caro822

While still giving the city life a New Yorker wants. Hi Baltimore, it’s me a New Yorker who moved here 🙋🏻‍♀️.

Yeah, but these are cops. In New York they all live in south Staten Island. Here, they’re going to move to Bel Air, and not spend a minute more in Baltimore than they need to to crack skulls and collect overtime.

They also won’t spend their money here. Therefor they’re simply extracting money from the city to spend and get taxed in the county of their choosing so that way, their kids get to go to a good school.

Remember this when you vote people.

Whats the solution to this? We are already paying these big bonuses and still cant get locals to be cops.

Locals don't want to be cops cuz they know the police are corrupt AF. There is no bandaid fix when what's needed is abolishing the BPD and rechartering with local neighborhood pds accountable to their constituents.

Right now, BPD is run by the state of Maryland. Vote yes on Question H in the midterms, to bring control back to the city.

Problem is this implies the city government is any more interested in serving the people, which is, uh, another problem.

Central Harford is full of city cops and firefighters. You'll have 2 fire captains and 3 police lieutenants in the same subdivision. Retired cops and FF out golfing all summer at the public courses.

And that's only bmore. If only you knew how many moco, pg and DC personnel also live in Bel air. It's absurd tbh

i don't know how fair that is. if these are new recruits, maybe they want to actually instill change in the police force.

source: when i was coming back from deployment i started going the route of becoming a part of BPD, but decided to stay in my current career field instead.

Or the BK, or BX, or Queens, or Long Island while using a different address.

That's white cops from Jersey who "live" in Staten Island. I think it depends on the cop here as to where you live.
