Mark Smith Quotes
We're going so into computers and technology today that I think we're losing the human touch on a lot of things. And as far as I'm concerned, police work still requires the human touch. You still have to be one-on-one with people. I'm going to continue to try to maintain our one-on-one, person-to-person thing with our dispatcher. If you call our police department 24 hours a day, you still get a human being. I'm a firm believer that every dark cloud has a silver lining, even if you just learn a little bit along the way from it. And if that brings morale up, then I'm glad it did. I'm sure glad I was given the opportunity.

We kind of knew what we had to deal with it before the season started. We say if you know it before it happens, it's not an excuse.

I think that what we're going to have to do is bring ourselves up with the rapid technology in crime. Crime is not one-on-one anymore. Crime happens hundreds of miles away with a couple of keystrokes on a computer. And in order to protect our residents from those types of things ... I think we have to be on top of that. We have to be well-versed in what's out there. So I see us moving in that direction.
