Are there more folks living on poverty's edge in Monrovia? If so, then you naturally have a spike in crime in the more economically depressed city. As opposed to Pasadena PD, how much of Monrovia's annual law enforcement budget is targeted to drug enforcement and do they receive matching federal funds through the DEA? How much does the Pasadena Police Department rely on Neighborhood Watch Programs to reduce crime in residential areas, as opposed to Monrovia and outlying communities? There are a lot of wealthy enclaves in Pasadena. How does this impact law enforcement? Does the PPD benefit from nice contributions from wealthy benefactors? You should also look into morale issues in the Pasadena law enforcement community. This gets back to hiring standards: what sort of incentive packages does the city of Pasadena offer for new hires? Are the packages designed to keep new officers in the Pasadena borders for years to come, thus investing everyone from the motor cop to the homicide detective with a sense of community pride?

I'm tossing out ideas I know others are interested in in conjunction with what I want to learn about. I have my ideas, I want to make sure the readers know its open call. I did just that in a post earlier this year next-door Arcadia PD offered me a ride-a-long and the readers gave me some pretty incredible questions to ask. I certainly have an interest in all the factors that brings about the differences in crime between Pasadena and Monrovia, hiring is a start. Hey Roger all good points.

Would you go to a green grocer and ask them questions about poultry? Here's a question for you to pose: What is different in the hiring standards between the Monrovia PD, for instance, and the Pasadena Police Department? That's your first inroad to understanding why the PPD has such a shining record. Fraz, why the emphasis on traffic enforcement inquiries when your stated greatest concern is violent crime?
