Better late than never?

On March 21, the Chronicle's Mike Glenn reported that HPD is considering the use of reserve officers.

That same day, we commented that the move was, at best, an inadequate solution to HPD's manpower shortage.

Today, the Chronicle editorial board finally weighed in on this local issue, criticizing the potential use of reserve officers because of concerns over training. The editorial offers no suggestions for Mayor White and Council regarding their priorities (or lack thereof) for funding new HPD hiring.

One supposes incomplete and a little slow on local issues is better than never on the Chronicle editorial page. Perhaps the idealists were distracted by the death of Bobby Short.
