15. empty sirens

The Police Force seems like it's in real trouble right now, with such a lack of people enlisting in it. Maybe I should force suggest to Huey that he enlist as a junior officer... if they have junior officers. That might be a good experience for him growing up

I'm not sure what gave you the idea that we're in real trouble.

And I can't speak for the Colonel, but I can almost guarantee that we do not have, nor will we ever have, junior officer programs. We are not career day.

I'm probably thinking along the lines of what Reno said recently. I've also noticed the roster, and maybe that's why I am finding such fault.

I wasn't thinking along the lines of career day. I was hoping we could use some of our more talented youth towards helping the City at large.

A few people leaving hardly cripples us.

There are far more productive methods than having them help investigate crimes or pursue violent criminals.

[sword_boy]

True, but it does hinder us to some degree.

I wasn't thinking of them investigating crimes or pursuing violent criminals. If anything, I was hoping they could help with patrols, or helping out at the station in general.

I'm sure people will arrive who will bolster the ranks.

If they want to be a station gofer, then maybe. But I doubt anyone will approve of taking kids out on patrol.

While I understand that, I've seen several kids who... could easily handle themselves if anything were to happen. I see no reason why they couldn't help in patrol even if it's something as small as patrolling the main plaza area.

So have I, but kids need to be kids whenever they can. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you have to, or it's the healthiest thing to do.
