More Bodies Out of Districts

Volunteer or Reverse Seniority in a new Operational order:

• Subject: District Tactical Teams
  
  [...] One team of tactical officers, 2 police officers,will be reassigned from each 2nd watch District Tactical Unit to the Area Deputy Chief. The officers will be assigned to the third watch under the command of the Area Deputy Chief. This will create a third watch, civilian dressed tactical team under the direction of the Area Deputy Chief, to be deployed to Districts with upticks in violence. [...]

So they're going to take away your rotating days, night, relief schedule, take you away from your District and your teammates, and assign you to a straight watch? Gee whiz, where do we sign up?

So what's the purpose of the day and night saturation teams, the midnight tact teams, MSF, TRU, the Area guns teams and who knows what other units that are being or have been specifically created to throw bodies at problem districts that they now have to raid Tactical Teams?

Once again, we're losing manpower in the districts and no one is opening up bid spots to fill any of these vacancies. Anyone care to lay money on these coppers being "double-counted" in J-Fled's fantasy numbers so it looks like manpower isn't affected?

Is this the beginning of the end of District law enforcement doing street corner dope jobs in an effort to reduce overtime and radio backlogs and concentrate on more "conspiracy" type operations?
