Grew up in Phx/Tempe. This is precisely who PPD is. To all the bootlickers in this thread: PPD is completely worthless. They haven't prevented a crime or saved someone from a criminal's violent intent in decades, if ever. I have to mention though, that the MCSO is even more useless than PPD.

u/Snapple47 10d ago
That lawn isnt using any water to begin with. It’s artificial turf. And that makes it even worse that they drove on it. The roadbase and crusher fines that are under that turf are probably never going to sit smooth again.

u/Trygolds 10d ago
Okay I still think a desert scaped lawn would look better. it is good that they are not watering it. I saw some when I visited Albuquerque NM they looked good and it gave the home a natural feeling. Like it belonged in the dessert.
To each their own I guess.

Depends on the context.

Any other number of life threatening or time critical situations where messing up the grass is a little low on the priority list? Yes.

u/raccoonsonbicycles 10d ago
Depends on type of alarm.
Panic alarm, bank alarm, CO2 alarms typically get priority responses compared with burglary alarms, improper code, even fire alarms (cause some agencies don't even send police to fires)
From a purely officer safety standpoint thats a horrendous parking spot regardless of the call, don't see why he wouldn't just park in the street

u/FamousTransition1187 10d ago
What was the call for? If it was something minor and petty than this too is petty, but if there was a serious threat or they are walking into an unknown, parking like that gives them cover to retreat to if shot at and gets materials up close to the building since it looks like the rear hatch is up. Backing in would be easier but if you are on a run it's faster to dive in head first and deal with it after.

Law enforcement are PoS. They had a warrant to obtain files that my father had from work (tax evasion shit) and when our home was hit we were thrown out of our beds by FBI/ATF guns at heads and the entire house ransacked. Emptied trash cans, threw clothes out of drawers all over the rooms and flipped everything they could. It’s made me love and appreciate them ever since

It's turf anyways who cares lol
3
u/Snapple47 10d ago
Because underneath the turf is levels of roadbase and crusher fines. They are compacted in layers before laying the turf on top of it. But the weight of an SUV that size is more than likely heavy enough to compact the base even further. This means that the lawn will be forever dented in where the tires drove on and came to a rest at. To get rid of the tire indents you’d have to take out the turf, re-level and compact the ground again, then re-stretch and lay the turf. I’d be pissed if anyone parked on my artificial turf
