Chief Moore recently created a new structure for his top commanders. This is another sign of his inability to understand the real problems of crime and violence in the city of Rochester. The solution to violence in the city is to create a system that supports and protects hard working street cops. Re-arranging top management without a top leader serves no purpose except to say to the public “look at the changes we made.. we’re doing something”. The perception of change is quite different from the reality of uncontrollable crime and violence.

They should follow Bob Wegmans theory and empower thier employees, not seperate the already weak relationship between the worker bees and upper mangement. pretty soon everyone in that building will be walking around with knives in thier backs. They shouldv’e started with positive empoerment of the street officers it would have showed a move in the right direction. the RPD inferstructure is going to crumble and the good folks of rochester will suffer
