Disbanding the Teams

Someone who obviously sees the things that we only hear about:

• OFF Topic but on Friday I saw the paper work begining to cancel the details of all GUN and PSN teams in the Areas. The memo read due to the low productivity of all the gun teams. Also it was told that there is no need for gun teams anymore due to the Gang Enforcement Unit taking up the slack of doing more search warrants and focus on guns. As well as the increase focuse of the CAGE unit. The CAGE unit may possibly be expanded. The memo also stated that the CAGE and GUN/PSN teams are duplicating efforts and these resources can be foucsed in areas of need. The Gun and PSN team are to be sent back to the district by the 5th period. Also there is still discussion of removing the Saturation teams as well, and leaving the midnight tact team.
  
  I saw the numbers from the memo and without removing the midnight tact teams and sending the sat and gun teams back (with removing a inside spot the meaning the sec.) thats 150 po's and 16 Sgt's back to the Districts by the 5th period. Again the draft memo stated that due to the TRU and MSF there is no longer a need for Sat teams as MSF and TRU are deployed at the request of the Area Deputy Chief.
  
  The memo further stated with the anticipation of the contract being settled and retirements in a large increase that these officers are going to be needed in the districts until the manpower issued can be resolved. If an additional officers are needed the midnight tact teams can also be sent back with an additional 50 p.o.'s and 5 Sgt's.
  
  So there you have it boys and girls thats how they plan to place an extra 150 to 200 officers and 20 some Sgt's back in the Districts by summer.

This summer isn't going to be anything but a holding action as far as we can tell. And barely that.
