Of course secrecy is bad for business, because policing is no longer about providing a public service, it is a business. It’s getting a good paying job with benefits, working 20 years and retiring and generating income from petty ticket writing and easy arrests and fines. Solving murders, fighting against the ridiculous increase in property crimes comes second. And when pressed for solutions or answers they hide behind “we need more officers” and when that gets played out they hide behind “we can’t be everywhere every time”.
