For one thing, transferring those 120 officers did nothing to reduce the crime rate. Those officers weren't transferred until January of this year, so they weren't even out there when the stats were gathered. Those officers were still in their respective investigative units doing the job they have done for years. Anyone checking the stats from past years will learn that the months TB used for his crime reduction always have the lowest call and crime load. When the weather turns cold, the criminals are not as active as they are in the spring and summer.
Response times are a joke.
If every officer followed the SOP you would see response times skyrocket out of control. Depending on what type of call you have, an officer will kick it in the butt a little to get there faster. I wonder how TB would handle the next wave when officers start to follow the book to the letter. Our general orders require that we not clear until the call we are on is taken care of . That could be minimum 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on what type of call it was.
