How Safe is Your Station?

J-Fled says something stupid:

• ...Weis responded Friday to questions about whether there was enough security at the building.

  Asked about what could be done about security at police parking lots, Weis said police facilities have video surveillance but added that little could be done to prevent such attacks by people with little regard for human life.

  "There's really no level of security you can put up that will prevent a person like that from attacking someone," he said.

Yeah, like video cameras have ever secured anything. Our readers respond:

• really, let's go to the FBI Chicago field office on Roosevelt and see if you can get into their parking lot with a ladder or grappling hook. aint going to happen. They have gates, turnstiles, armed guards and ...wait for it...
  
  A SECURE F'KIN COVERED GARAGE ACCESSIBLE ONLY BY VETTED EMPLOYEES
  
  
• Go to any suburban police department and try to trespass around their facilities like the shitbirds do around ours.
  
  Or perhaps go to the FBI facility at 2111 W. Roosevelt Road in Chicago and try to get in.
  
  Or any police facility around here, except ours. and try to tresspass.

Obviously, we aren't going to publish exactly how to access our woefully pathetic security measures. But vague generalizations demonstrating how un-secure District stations are would be an eye opener to many. Maybe it even gets General Services interested in fixing a few more doors and leaky ceilings.
