Having worked for JPD for years, the system is ridiculous and a waste of manpower. Even with no type of medical issue an officer has to "babysit" a person for hours. If an officer has to take a person for a med clearance you're looking at a MINIMUM of 3 hours. Ther is your tax dollars at work.

Anyone think he just finished 12 hour shift for the 4th or 5th day in a row at the jail supporting his family. They have to work ridiculous hours there. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

I recently moved from Janesville and can no longer subscribe to the Gazette. I asked about subscribing to the e-version and was told I couldn't do so without subscribing to the paper itself. I can not subscribe to the paper because I live 1800 miles away. Why not offer subscriptions to the e-version to those of us that would like to read the Gazette but no longer live in the area. I would like to see the entire paper and not just bits and pieces.

THERE IS NO QUOTA!!! How do I know? I worked for JPD for over 10 years before going to Phoenix. I can tell you first hand traffic enforcement IS A PRIORITY in Janesville. Almost everyone takes radar out. But time to do traffic is limited due to calls for service. The officers arebusy with calls of my kid won't listen to me, my neigbor has his trash out early, the neighbors called me a name, etc. If there weren't ridiculous calls for service to answer, maybe more traffic enforcement could be done. Keep up the good work guys. I know what you put up with and you're doing great.

As a former JPD officer, (I left for more opportunity) Deputy Chief Kopp has the respect of the officers and would be the best person for the job.
