Comments on: Is Apathy Killing Your Department? http://www.bluesheepdog.com/2010/03/09/is-apathy-killing-your-department/ Police Training and Officer Safety Tips Mon, 06 Feb 2012 19:45:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Bill http://www.bluesheepdog.com/2010/03/09/is-apathy-killing-your-department/#comment-11533 Bill Tue, 24 Aug 2010 07:34:54 +0000 http://www.bluesheepdog.com/?p=647#comment-11533 Very interesting and well written article. I know for a fact that apathy has dug it's claws into my tiny department. We only have seven patrol officers, and while there are some that still go out and kick ass and chew bubblegum, there are a couple that sit idly by, watch the clock until lunch, eat and then sit until end of shift. Fortunately I don't have any of them that work directly for me, but it's a struggle to keep my shift motivated. They work hard and get no recognition, and the others slack off and get no punishment. Ah well, we'll just keep on marching on midnight watch. Very interesting and well written article. I know for a fact that apathy has dug it’s claws into my tiny department.
