Whoever wrote it thinks "their" is spelled "there."

I'm going to give it to the Nj State Police .....I've never been bothered by them. I'm not the most normal looking biker and I'd probably pull me over once in a while just for ***** and giggles. I've blown by their hiding places on the parkway numerous times . Not on purpose either. They have some good observation posts. Never have they come out to take me down. For what it's worth after I see them I do back it down. But if there are any njsp out there much appreciated! The whole 1 % thing is way overblown. Their no better no worse than most of us. There is 99% of other stuff to attend to out there.

It amazes me that someone in charge of training would not proof read this document. I am not even close to being part of the grammar police, but it still amazes me to see so many mistakes in grammar and spelling.

There is nothing in this that a high school student could not have written with some help from Wikipedia. In fact it reads like a high school student created it.


Where are the facts and figures?
- Percentage OMG members currently incarcerated?
- Percentage OMG members on probation?
- Percentage OMG members with prior criminal activity?
- breakdown/breakout of criminal activities by location and gang
- estimated financial values of criminal activities
- cost of policing OMGs, is it cost effective?
- etc.

Not sure who the target audience is but I feel like I can get more information on biker gangs from reading the news paper, news magazines like Time, and watching the evening news than from reading this.
