From a Fox 2 story:
Not even 9-5? Maybe they need that hour in the morning to drive to the station from HQ.Hours at the mini-stations are 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
So it's one and a half officers sitting around, not dozens.The plan is for each police mini-station to be staffed with a permanent police officer, a police reservist, as well as a volunteer from the community.
I don't get the mini-station concept, and I certainly didn't think this was the purpose."I think it will change the whole concept and make sure that people feel comfortable with talking to the police and giving them information and that's the way that they're going to solve and help solve some of these crimes," says Mayor Dave Bing.
Why bother?Though not yet equipped with the police department's CRISNet crime reporting system, officers can assist with making reports over the phone and take written reports.
