This is all about the cuts in the Quinn funding at the State level... which is still to high and should be taken out of the budget completely. Some Towns have relented and picked up the lack of Quinn Bill funding at the expense of the local tax payers, who never agreed to pay this at all. The "perk" that is a political football, is coming under attack, rightfully so. The notion that cops are not good cops, because they lack a degree, is propaganda at best. Law Enforcement's allies on the Hill must not allow the bullies to threaten public safety in the name of preserving their perk, which was a payoff to cops who supported the ruling elite way back when, the Quinn Bill was first passed. The Police Union should be recognized as just another bullie, scaring residents with propaganda.

Ridiculous. Why don’t the cops spend the money the spent on this add paying for their own continuing education expenses. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Maybe they should be asking for money to send them all to anger management classes. After the last posting about the guy killed by cops, seems they need that sort of training more than anything else.
Don’t expect many to comment here. Who wants to publically speak out against the cops in their own town? I do find it interesting that even Chief Carl seems to be against this Quinn bill funding, I am reading that right, aren’t I?
you are Anon. No one is identified by name here and it's that kind of fear we should fear the most. When normal everyday tax payers are bullied into spending money on furthering cops education, someone must stand up and ask why?
The BOS meet in private last night to discuss Quinn funding or the lack of.
