    Someone asked me why are there so many accidents lately. I politely explained to them the FHP has lost so many positions that they have to work 12 hour overlapping shifts in a failed effort to keep up with calls. FHP does not have the manpower to be proactive. As a result people drive the way they do knowing they will not get caught.
