My house was broken into a few months ago. The deputy that came out couldn't get any fingerprints, and that seemed to be the end of it. Perhaps more patrols in the neighborhood would be a better deterrent.
Yes, we need more Police officers , with the increasing crime in Bloomington
I am sorry to hear that. My up-vote was to applaud your participation in this petition drive.
We definitely need to address the issue of increased crime in Bloomington. The population has increased, so why has law enforcement, EMS, and fire protection not increased?
Yes I believe they should do something about this. Bloomington was such a paradise back in day.
Property recently broken into
We need to support the police dept. as much as possible.

We need more layers of police. We need footbeat, bicycle, or motorcycle officers for much more visibility in neighborhoods. We need satellite stations for those officers to work out of. These are proven strategies that have proven to be very effective.
