They should be foucsing on the safety of the citizens;
How? They should be meeting with LEO depts, discussing how LEOs should spread out, how they should handle things, and how they should prepare for things like state of emergencies, wars, and big situations.
They are the Department of Public Safety, not the Department of Tryhard LEO HICOMM.
I find it COMPLETELY useless for them to oversee punishments and such, because it beats the purpose of having a department’s leadership. They should focus on the safety of the public, and not be budding their head into everything that goes on. I literally just had a DPS official try ordering me to reinstatement somebody who my command terminated, and I told them that I don’t take orders from them.
And if DPS is going to be doing things relating to my department, everything should have to be approved by myself, because I personally don’t want to take orders from some 3rd party department and I’m sure many others can relate to me.
The last time DPS did this shit, I created this petition – and you saw how many supports it got: A Petition to the Governor
