BY THE NUMBERS: FEAR THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING KANSAS CITY POLICE FORCE!!!

Quick count to see how Kansas City is paying for so many new toys and pet projects:

"In 2007 there were 1,423 officers from the chief to patrol. In 2011 that number was 1,386. Today Lemon said the number is about 1,320."

Meanwhile, the homicide count continues to trend upward . . .

Battle continues over elimination of police positions

  6. So can anyone tell the difference? All I know is you have to beat them to the donuts at Quick Trip or you do without. If the numbers meant anything ticket revenue would be way down instead of up. I guess that tells you something about priorities in Kansas City.

  10. @10:07, hell, maybe now that FD in Kansas can bring guns to work, 75% of their PD can get cut loose. Wow, guns where people have to put up with each other for 24 hours straight. What could possibly go wrong?
