I certainly hope they learn to be more sensitive and kind to lawbreakers. Because meanness creates crime.

And then they all come back and test positive for THC.

Remember, your taxes are too low. You need to pony up more for fire stations and libraries. None of your tax dollars are wasted on police boondoggles or pretend rail lines.
Yrs. truly,

Wouldn't it be cheaper to send the instructor to Menlo Park, rather than sending 29 officers to Oregon? What's the rush?
Moreover, if an emergency arises, those first responders will be in Oregon, not in the local area.

I wish Menlo Park would donate these apparently surplus funds to organizations that need it, like Ravenswood School District.

When is the next election when we can vote out of office the politicians responsible for giving the approval to wasting money on something like this ?

The cost of just one lawsuit against the City would be far greater than the cost of this wise preventative program.

A three day get-away in the beautiful resort community of Bend, Oregon?!? How very lovely!!! Any possibility the City Manager will be in attendance too?

This is just so laughable ! Can MPPD and our City Council throw away any more money to such ridiculous ventures. We have very low crime levels in this city (compared to most others, Atherton excluded of course) and we are paying up to $177,000 of our hard earned tax payer dollars on this .. There are so many other more valuable Law Enforcement related areas to spend this money on, a more effective Neighborhood Watch Program for example.
We have not forgotten about the Naked Cop incident from 2013. It is despicable favoritism that this cop got off so lightly and keeps his job. Remember that the next time you get a Red Light Revenue Ticket for $500 ! (No I have not received one !) The current City Council need to be voted OUT ...
