A POLICE TIME-SAVER

Re: "Council repeals alarm policy - Police to again respond to all
calls at businesses," Thursday Metro.

If Dallas Police Chief David Kunkle is looking for a way to make up
for lost police time since the repeal of the verified response policy,
perhaps he should implement a new policy recently made available to
him by the passage of HB 2391, which gives local police the discretion
to quickly issue a citation for possession of small amounts of
marijuana instead of arresting the accused, which could take hours.

Does it really make sense to spend valuable police time arresting
individuals when they will probably receive no jail time for the offense?
