I have the utmost respect for most people who comment on these pages but I have to point out to Mr. John Marotto that as has been said the officer

who is working at the construction site has the responsibility to keep the traffic flowing in both directions and he/she is hired to help direct the heavy equiptment around the site by slowing down traffic and in some cases detouring it in the most convenient direction as not to jeopardize the residents

welfare in that area.Unbeknown to most citizens.... the officers working details ( as they are called ) are not paid by the city but by the contractor. There are times however,when they are called upon to work for the city, for example at: schools, city functions, city parks, etc., etc.,and they are not paid $ 35-45 per hour but at a much lower salary. If an officer is sitting in his car when traffic is heavy and not performing his duties and is observed by the roving Sergeant he is reprimanded and may not ever get another detail. Yet, as human nature will have it, there still are those who will take advantage of any opportunity to goof off.
