All great points, Jeff! Linking budget to outcomes is something I'd really like to see, both with the police and other departments and agencies. The budget request cites increasing crime rates, but a lot of the increase is auto theft, for example -- I'd love to hear specifics about how extra spending on more cops will be targeted to reduce that. (Of course, I'd also like some analysis of whether regulatory/policy changes would be more effective than police spending.)
