L.A. re-thinking workers' car uses - another perspective

Today's story, L.A. puts brakes on take-home car use, caught my attention because I had a conversation last week with a Los Angeles Police Department detective about this issue. I'm offering this just as another perspective on the issue that was not mentioned in the article - not as any kind of opinion:

The detective said that when he is called to an emergency from home, he has to first go to the station and pick up a police car because he doesn't have a drive-home city vehicle. He gets called out to investigations all over the city and says he loses a lot of time doing the car swap. The city will not let officers use their personal cars to drive to work, so this is a must.
