It's Past Time For Benny To Step Up His Game !

Benny's Plan: A cop in every square mile. Benny explained recently:
He detailed a plan he calls the “One Square Mile Initiative,” which would place one Detroit police officer in each one of the city's 138 square miles of land. That officer would be responsible for being the first response to any crime in that square mile, in addition to making sure houses are maintained, graffiti is removed and lawns are mowed.

Is this amateur or what? This seems to imply that every cop will work his/her mile every day. There are three shifts, so three cops working that one mile.

Does this include any square miles that are currently abandoned/urban prairie or have just a few residents? How can you balance out a workload when you have one cop covering a few people in a mostly deserted square mile and another cop covering a whole bunch of people in well populated square mile?

He didn't get into that much detail.

I call Lakeview and Kercheval. Nothing to do but hunt pheasants. What's this about I'm supposed to cut the grass though? Brilliant!
