They are doing what they get paid to do. So what's the big deal. I would like to see a report say for Jan and Feb.

getu if there was praise for doing nothing you would win hands down! Congrats! Here's a number for you. Did you know the Highway Patrol has more felony arrests than all other agencies combined every year? Must be doing something....

Hey @ksomething do not anger our @Iamgonnagetu god. You must pay homage and make sacrifices to him for his superior intellect and betterness. Not really, he probably throw a temper tantrum and start yelling at the walls in his moms basement and spill his Cheetos. Then he will start crying and threaten to find you and beat you up.

I’d like to see a break-down of these statistics by areas. It’s my understanding that much of the time, Saline County has no KHP trooper support after 11 p.m., even in the midst of snow storms, tornadoes and any other disaster. When you’re talking statewide, these numbers don’t look nearly so impressive. What about our local law enforcement? The ones that are there rain or shine, and who don’t get to pick and choose which emergencies they get to respond to — not just the high profile ones. Thank you Salina PD and Saline County Sheriff’s Office for being there all the time!

Blondechick is right. There are fewer trooopers on the road. You can thank budget cuts for that.

Let's start with Salinasenior....Looks like you got your pants back from the Hooker that you were in the motel room with. I guess she did not like finding out you were a transgender and ran out with your pants. Glad to see you got that put behind you. Oops no pun intended.

Ksomething once again you are speaking out the wrong end. Evidently you are reading crime comic books once again. We did not miss your stupid comments that 9 times out of 10 are wrong and misleading.

Would love to see the monthly statistics for the SPD. Why isn't this published?

Same reason the sheriff's department does not. They do not want anyone to know. You got to old guys at the head of the departments who should of retired years ago. Hopefully one will be gone very soon.

Are your trying to be funny? Everything your say on here just sounds utterly stupid. I am just going to make a guess. Have your pass high school yet or plan to in the future?

Salinasenior I know you are embrassed by the motel thing you were involved in but your 15 minutes of fame has now passed. Therefore you do not need to be rude towards others by attacking them. You know the old saying, live by the sword die by the sword.
