LAW ENFORCEMENT

By Randy J. Barli

Candidate for State Representative; District 49; Democratic Party

This information is provided by the candidate
Communities' revenue loss has placed extreme undue burdens upon Pennsylvania's State Police force, as other services.
Communities overwhelmingly rely upon the State Police for law enforcement, safety, & protection, because of our loss of revenue.

Technology is NOT a replacement nor excuse for human law enforcement, safety, & protection. As I currently understand, our Troopers on patrol don't have the ability to have another Trooper in the same vehicle for back up upon their request alone, another in the chain-of-command is the deciding factor.

Any reasons for Trooper controlled back-up requests are the best: does/doesn't feel good about a situation; woke-up right/wrong that day; good, bad, & etc.

If my current understanding is wrong, thank GOD! Otherwise, WE have a starting point long past due.

REGISTER, VOTE, RUN FOR OFFICE!
