[Crime Update] Susan Stanton (former Lake Worth city manager) has her own PD: Why having your own PD isn't a crime deterrent

Before we get to the tiny city of Greenfield, did you know that the crime rate in the City of Lake Worth dropped in 2014? It did and you can read about that here. Now to the City of Greenfield:

The former Lake Worth city manager, Susan Stanton (who was fired almost four years ago), is now the city manager in Greenfield, California. One of the reasons for her firing was the failed attempt to end the PBSO contract with the City (and gutting of the code department didn't help either).

Susan Stanton (right) leaves Lake Worth City Hall chambers for the last time on 12/6/2011. She was fired for many reasons; many of which you can read here. The Obtuse Blogger (TOB [left, with stunned look of disbelief]) has her own issues with crime in Lake Worth.

Greenfield is about one-half the population size of Lake Worth. They had two homicides in the City of Greenfield earlier in the year. Stanton always wanted to get rid of the Lake Worth PBSO to have her own police department. Stanton now has her own police department in Greenfield, CA. Surprisingly, despite having her own PD, Stanton has a crime problem in her city of Greenfield. I bet the scanner in her office is busy. Below is a partial list of crimes that occurred in Greenfield, CA from 12/21/15 to 1/3/16 (and note the absence of "Beverage Violations"):
