Next election vote independent! Both the demorats and republicain are worthless just like KCSO and the Buggersfield PD. They must have all gove to school with the KCHSD and just got a GED and a certificate in eating doughnuts.

satc3456, are you retarded? The new cars being bought come from City of Bakersfield funds. The COB has nothing to do with building new prisons. So yes, I'd say you are wrong, and not very smart.

Maybe I'm wrong to think this, but couldn't the government have used the money they spent on these new cars to build new prisons to keep these criminals off the street?

Dasha, you have it wrong. Taxes should be raised on the Democrats to hire more law enforcement. It's the Democrats that elected Brown and the Democrat majority in the legislature which are turning the criminals out of prison before their sentences are served only to continue commiting crimes.

Immigration is down, but crime is up. Oldfart, your brothers in Oildale came to Bakersfield during the dustbowl and their offspring continue to do drugs, be drunkards and live on the river. Good ol' Americans. lol

Might help some if the BPD would do something when you report a crime & give them names & addresses to. I personally won't call that useless agency anymore, take care of it on my own.

That was an extra bonus of $1.2 million, did you just drop out of pre-school? Plus what we need are better laws on illegals and enforce the laws on these criminals so they don't get release after doing less than a third of their time! Hey some don't even do time, the judge just gives them probation! Oh yes the people with all the tax breaks like all the welfare families that collects and never pay back a dime but most of these criminals come from these welfare families!

only 1.2 million to split among each agency? How about rasing more taxes on the local GOP's and little buggersfield business guys like the OIL industry and the ag people. Too many people locally are getting tax breaks and we need more COPS!

So true, these illegals adults are just doing what they were raised to do and their off springs have learned from the best! But as they keep saying, we are so lucky to have them crawling over to this country, what a joke! Betweem the illegals robbing us and the system and Obama helping them do it,we are in big trouble!

Yes it's felon's but also illegals & illegals kids. I'm armed & ready, alarm system
