'To Protect and To Serve'. Just words scrawled on cop cars or just a catchy slogan used in many…read moreHollywood movies? Either way, I assume those words are synonymous with police anywhere. A few weeks ago I was proven wrong when I placed a call to the Corinth Police Department. I called shortly after midnight on 7-26-2014 to report catching a teenage girl prowling inside my car which was parked in my drive. She had been seen, by us, prowling around inside a neighbor's truck. I gave a description of her, along with a description of the two other teens with her. I was told they would send a patrol car right out. OK, this is where the "serve" in 'To Protect and To Serve' should take place. It did not. I remained outside until 2:30 am and no patrol car made an appearance. The following day, I did inform the neighbor of the incident and their reaction was typical anger and disgust in how the children are being raised nowadays. They also made it clear they would have no qualms in shooting a thief or intruder. I made a mental note then and there that these teens need to remain in their own neighborhood and if I saw them I would call the police again, to PROTECT them, from themselves and their own stupidity. On 8-17-2014 I called the Corinth Police Department again. I stated my name and the fact that I had called them before about a prowler in my car. I laid it all out to him and even the fact that they did not follow up on my previous call. This call was to inform him that my car, parked in my drive had been burgled. I told him this time money was stolen, glove box rifled through and the console opened. Did I get an apology from him regarding their failure to send a patrol car the first time I called? No, I did not. Did I get asked HOW MUCH money was stolen? No, I did not. Did I have any sense of calm come over me as I told him my situation? No, I did not. He did say "we will put you on the books for extra patrol". Oh, ok, cool this is where the serve and protect is going to come into play. Well, damn if I ain't wrong on that again. Not one single patrol car has been spotted in this neighborhood, day or night since my calls to them. The badge for the Corinth Police Department states two words, 'Pride' and 'Service'. Well, they can have pride in knowing I have zero confidence in their word. If my situation and how it was handled is an inkling into their service then I do hope for myself and my neighbors' sakes these teens and others like them stay away from this neighborhood. Because we will be forced to stand up and protect what is ours. The pizza delivery guy has no problems finding this neighborhood in a timely manner, I can only hope the Corinth Police Department can catch on soon and start patrolling as promised. Update:It is the first week of Jan 2015 and still no extra patrolling in this neighborhood. We have new neighbors moving in and someone else vacated a house. That opens the window of opportunity for those delinquent teens to poke around and possibly vandalize that property. To Each Their Own.
