Isn't it time for a change on how the CVCBD operates

With crime still not under control and the CVCBD now having an opportunity to really do something positive, isn't it time for the CVCBD to change how it operates?  Instead of picking up garbage cans to ensure tonnage numbers of removed refuse so that the City can justify the existence of the CVCBD, isn't it time for the CVCBD to start the Off-duty Police program in the community now?  How many crimes will it take for the CVCBD to mount an effective crime prevention program like the hiring of the Off-duty Police?  They have been talking about it for a considerable time now and nothing is happening ..... but crime.  This is a time for action, not discussion and certainly not for sitting there contemplating their respective navels.  Do something effective now to provide protection from the drug dealing in the neighborhood, to prevent cars being broken into, to stop the thefts from the stores in the community and possibly even save a life or two of our residents.  Take a significant portion of your budget and stop trying to raise money for more $600. garbage cans and do something positive like putting an off-duty police man on the beat so that people can walk the community in safety.  No more meetings, no more discussions ,,, now is the time for action.
