Remember folks - IT'S ALL ABOUT THE POLICE, FIREFIGHTERS AND AMBULANCE WORKERS ( you know...the ones making double time and a half on Xmas Day).
While the unsung, minimum wagers in this bleak economy who keep the lights on and the cogs turning...just doing what they do - in order to pay the exorbitant wage and benefits the cop enjoys.

Most of them are forced to work on Christmas or other holidays because their schedule happens to have them working that day. Being off is probably worth more than time and a half to them I bet.
And you should look at your property taxes. I think it's pretty straight forward what you pay for police services in your area.
