How about setting up surveillance cameras at the trail heads and organizing neighborhood watches to monitor the movement. There's probably not a lot of movement between midnight and 6 am that's not up to no good. Once these pictures are on the web, people can watch out for individuals trolling neighborhoods they don't belong in. Big lake already post pictures of people no one recognizes. Before this, I had 6 breakins and 20 thousand dollars of my possessions stolen. Since then I've had one attempt with a few scratches in my door. What we're doing now has no effect. Doing something that makes sense has a definite effect. We could hire a hundred more cops and all it would do is make us believe we need 2 hundred more. Without neighborhood survalence we're wide open. With it , we start putting a face to the crimes and start seeing the thieves on our trails , walking our streets, in our stores, just about everywhere. Maybe have the new cops respond to movement activity with a little help.
