Have you tried hiring lifeguards in the last 2 years? Not easy. Almost every pool is shortstaffed.

Man, you people are really obtuse! You sound like Republicans. Every problem can be solved with a bumper sticker slogan! Build a wall!

For what we spend on that helicopter we could train new ones and give them a decent salary. This is just a stupid use of resources - and rather than creating more resources for the community it's focused on punishing people, which is an objectively dumb way too deal with most societal problems that could be solved by creating more resources.

seriously, make the academy class the lifeguards for a summer on rotating shifts. they spend time in the community and get to know ppl, and pools always safe because there is a cop on duty.

I never said it was easy, I said it was less expensive and actually served the interests of the community, but keep whatever shitty narrative that you want, I guess.

Hey let's get rid of all government services, that'd save tons of money!

...both Police and public parks are government services. So I'm not sure what point you think you were making here?
