Hell, we do that all the time around here. It's been a few years but when things get out of control, they might draw in LE from 5 counties to get a lid on things. That tradition goes back to the old Dakota Laws and still is used in the Western States today. You may find it a problem but I see it as a tradition that needs to be done even more today.
Traditional for no one joking PD in Leftard cities? Okey Dokey.
IT's an option that is open to ALL districts. And always has been. At one time, the Outlaws outnumbered the Sheriffs and Marshals, say, circa 1888, in each county and town. But the surrounding Counties and towns would sent Sheriffs and Marshals along with deputized Citizens to outnumber the bad guys. And this was one in "Good Republican" counties and towns as well as Democratic ones. The Bad Guys still outnumber our LEs around here in a given county but the don't outnumber the LE from a 5 county area along with the State Police. We are a Republican ran county and could not afford to have more LE than bad guys either.
Now, stop being the loser you really are and playing politics with smart LE work.
