[Mpls] Re: Sasaoka letter back

[James E Jacobsen]

I heard Mayor Frazer -about 10 years ago- say it costs the city about $50,000 per year for each cop out there, that would include police expenses beyond just the payroll.  Also, he said it cost about $50,000 for each squad car, after it was outfitted and with maintainence.              Probably those costs are actually higher now.           The police cut outs idea is funny but I'll bet it would bring some percentage of crime reduction.  The cut out would suggest that the real thing is nearby.            James E Jacobsen // Whittier
