I'm surprised this isn't being promoted as an opportunity for economic development.

Well it would bring more people downtown.

At least they would be 'cuffed' already!

Certainly at least some of them would want at least a coffee, or perhaps something to eat, after they are released. And with four or five new liquor licenses downtown, there are more and more places for them to get a drink.

This booking has been going on for at least five years for the twps. surrounding the city and the southern end. This county should have gone to central booking years ago. Once again Lancaster Co. is behind the times. Each twp that uses central booking should have to pay there fair share. Most of the person put through the booking center right now are brought in by the City PD but the other municipalities involved probably bring in about 10-20 percent. They want to have all the police depts bring there prisoners into a central boking area. The one problem area is the fingerprinting. Manheim Twp has there own printer and they don't feel they should have to pay for printing. This is no big deal. I know the cost per dept. could be wqrked out without much trouble. What we need is a pres. judge willing to get the thing rolling. Some of the District Judges are against the idea also but all you need is a pres judge with some guts to tell these DJ's to just do their jobs.
