When I see a BTR cop car parked at a residence in another parish/town, did the cop buy his own gasoline to get to and from work? Does he pay for the oil changes and tires etc.? Or do we tax paying citizens pay for it?

I can't speak for BRPD, but most departments require the employee to pay a fee if they want to take their unit home and they live in another parish.

According to this argument last year:

quote:

In 1991, the parish had a policy that limited public take-home cars to the parish boundary lines, as Marcelle is recommending. But that was later changed to allow take-home vehicles outside the parish as long as it fell within a 24-mile radius from the geographic center of the city.


quote:

The 24-mile radius was put into place to make the take-home policy more equitable because some officers who live in nearby cities such as Port Allen, which is in West Baton Rouge Parish, were driving a shorter distance home than those who live in Zachary or Central but were still inside the parish lines.


The ones outside the radius who were grandfathered in to allow them take-home vehicles pay for gas past the 24-mile radius.

I don't think the council approved the proposed change last year.

I'm sure there are things they do that are more troubling than taking their car home at the end of the shift.

Also, learn how to quote. You've been here long enough to figure it out

everytime I drive on Bonnabel in Metaire I see a Madisonville cruiser and think that is a long commute in a cruiser.

People have lost a ton of respect for BRPD lately. I don't trust cops. The "protect and serve" mindset has been thrown out the window. They prey and HARASS on citizens of BR, we are the enemy. All about the power and $$$$$$. Corrupt motherfrickers.

Of all the things I can criticize cops for ( and I do), this is about the most chicken shite, non issue I can think of. I have no problem with them using the cars for personal use. Hell, pull your boat with it if you want to.

If I see a cop car parked near my residence I truly DGAF about such things. A fleet of a dozen marked cruisers parked in my front yard are welcome.

Taxpayers generally foot the bill...BUT generally take-home cars are taken care of better by their assigned officer, kept cleaner, and aren't running 24/7, leading to a higher resale value at auction...

Bert Macklin drives his cruiser any where he wants.

However some times Bert will throw tree fitty down for gas.
