Before kerry forestall killed my team we would meet at roll call and ride two up. Make arrest for 4-6 hours then spend the rest of the shift writing reports and taking care of evidence. WHen he took office he couldnt wrap his head around why we would want to do the work that we did so he finally killed all proactivity in our division and detailed us to parking lot security of a secured building. lolEven if departments did have enough personnel, nobody would want to give up the take home car as it is one of the benefits of the job. Not to mention any friction it could cause among officers being partnered up.
At least that's my thoughts from the outside looking in
