The inspection dept. should issue a violation for having broken trucks on the property:). Where are you inspector?
So once they get rid of I think 5 police how many will be potroling on a shift if right now it is 7 to 8?
Looks like you can’t leave construction sites without a watchdog on the premises
Looks like you can’t leave construction sites without a watchdog on the premises. A well trained German shepherd dog should do the trick. It would be cheaper than a guard.
Where is the LCSW? How come they aren’t out patrolling the job site. I think this is a job for………
at $3.50 a pound, that was a pretty big score for the thieves, lets hope they are caught and locked away, hopefully behind iron bars.
Since when is the LCSW supposed to patrol a construction site. I thought they were here to keep watch over the community and assist the people in lakewood. When did they become the security for construction sites around lakewood. I think the developer should arrange security at his own expense for protection of the products and supplies he has on the site..not the LCSW
which construction site was this?
as a guy in the business, security guards tend to sleep on the job at night
