Members lovetofish Posted February 27, 2011 Members Posted February 27, 2011 How many Rangers will the parks have this year during opening day? Do we really need 10-15 Rangers plus conservation, water patrol and all the office staff to be there? It makes no sense for them to spend the hotel, fuel and food cost for them to watch 10,000 people. I know city cops don't have that good of ratio for police to citizens. Are we all criminals that needs to be watched??? When your there go to the Captain or Sgt and thank them for wasting our tax money instead of fixing the streams and park!!!! Who is going to post how many rangers they saw this time around. I say at least 10 during the day???

Who is going to post how many rangers they saw this time around. I say at least 10 during the day??? I don't know...shoulder to shoulder fishing, beer, high water, and attitudes. Yea, they need that many officers. As soon as two idiots start a fight and it spreads to a dozen men, and a kid gets pushed into the water and drowns, people would complain there wasn't enough law enforcement. Security and law enforcement for large events are based on the worst case scenario not the best. No, I'm not a cop, but 20 years in the military has taught me a thing a two about planning events.

But opening day isn't a typical crowd for the trout parks- it's like a city hosting a Memorial Day/ 4th of July/ New Year's event- events where they do up police presence. <{{{><
eric1978 Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 As long as they're handing out tickets instead of drinking coffee and eating donuts all day, I'm okay with it. If they fined everyone in violation, they could more than pay for themselves.

I don't think that most towns for a medium size event has that many. 10,000 is not very large. I just attended an event that had a beer tent and 30,000+ that had only five officers for the whole thing? I have never seen that many fights or major scuffles? Plus don't forget Conservation is there and they have just as many that is over 30 officers. To expensive for the state to pay for right now. Doesn't take more than a few guys to break up a fight with OC spray and get things under control. Plus HWY Patrol is nearby and so is county. It is a waste a whole lot of DOG AND PONY SHOW for them to justify who they are.

Oh and by the way you're the one who doesn't want the cops there you should be the one to tell them off.
