That’s amazing to hear! I’m always worried I’m going to choose something with no demand. I already have one degree collecting dust. I’m not fully sure yet. I’m leaning toward coastal related, but I have my master gardener certification and have a huge interest in native plants and mycology as well. I’m hoping to figure it out once I’m exposed to different opportunities.

Because I’d rather have a consistent police force instead of whomever is working for the RISP. As they move to different barracks and are promoted, you’ll just get the latest group of fresh Troopers to replace them.

Where as with a local department, you’ll have consistency with its force. You’ll develop relationships and knowledge of the town and its people.

Like having your local beat cop who knows everyone and knows who does what.

Be careful all the time, quota time or not.

Weeb shop. I want this to me an Anime/card shop so bad, but I have a feeling you misspelled weed.

Or they are at home with their kids, or working their 2nd or 3rd jobs...but who knows.

It was mentioned a few times by a retired cop who used to sit on the town council. Nobody else thinks this is a good idea. Crime is almost non-existent in Exeter. Why do you hope for this?

Really?

I just read about the VP at Tollgate.

Im not a teacher, I thought that joke would be more well received than it was.

Ill take my lumps.

Imagine, instead, that we rewarded police officers for minimizing crime, minimizing arrests, and minimizing violence. If you can't do community policing, if you can't help people who are struggling, then don't be a cop, and maybe don't be a politician either.

Masshole.

Are you a teacher? I would get an Uber, rough week for educators in Warwick.

Why would we believe this from a cop?

Honestly I'm a fan of Warwick. Every time I've been down there the people are chill, it's a nice blue collar town. Looks like general consensus is air pollution is a big concern...That would honestly be enough to eliminate the area for me, bummer. I really wouldn't take what others who live & have lived there for a while say about this - lightly.

The number of cops on scene was extremely ridiculous.

And RI cops are so honest and upstanding that they require an archaic yet ironclad Officers Bill of Rights - you know, to make driving around and shooting at teenagers safe again. Banned quotas…..okay guy, you telling me they don’t place wagers during their Bud Light marathons every Saturday In Pawtuxet Village?

Sun butter sandwiches and jelly in jail?

Except nobody obeys the actual speed limit, so it becomes a game of officer discretion

Thanks for clarification!

I’d really love to know if enforcing speed limits reduces accidents.

Don’t believe in God and I’m already drained so I’ll have my afternoon coffee instead.

Good luck.

Ah yes, the Exeter State Police. Also known as the RISP.

The state PD that operate within the town of Exeter only do so for dispatched calls. So a B&E, assault, larceny, etc. if they’re not doing exactly that; they’re just normal state PD.

No RISP Trooper is assigned to operate for the town of Exeter like how the CT SP do with their town Troopers. So you’re just complaining about RISP being RISP, who are notorious for being heavy handed everywhere.

And the Charlestown issue was ‘16 or ‘17, not COVID.

Rhode Island drivers forever getting salty about getting pulled over because they don’t know the rules of the road well enough to recognize they’re breaking them 😅 driving in our state is terrifying on a good day let alone when there’s literally any weather event going on
