I love the idea of an auditory receipt. I'm stealing that. 

Also, a police department that feels under-appreciated is a good problem to have.  We were in Rochester, Minnesota last night and spotted no less than eight police cars in a 2 mile area. We wondered if we'd wandered into a bad part of town for dinner or if there was just that many police on duty.  Of course that then begs the question why? 
 @4a888f94 it’s got the reputation of being the calmest police district in the country where young ambitious police don’t want to be placed… which is weird because we’re far from the wealthiest district even in the region
