Berkowitz blames the Sullivan administration for this crime.  What a BS cop-out (pun intended).  The unions made sure the money going to APD didn't get cut by blocking Sullivan's AO-37.  So no complaints about money can be made.  And the 18 months to train a police officer ... that's also union driven inefficiency.  It would be 18 weeks if unions weren't involved.  Next to come, union puppet Berkowitz will be making public statements, with hat in his hands, saying that the only way crime in Anchorage will go down is if taxpayers open their checkbooks and give the unions more money.  Our mayor is owned by the public union mafia.  Bottom line: APD will only show up after a bullet leaves a gun.  Prior to that point, we are on our own.
