Have the Maplewood police caught anyone for any crimes committed? It seems the bank robber is still at large, and all of the muggings go unpunished. I get car thefts are more difficult to catch, but it seems to me, there are more harassed teenagers than there are results. If someone doesn't understand what I'm writing, I am saying the Maplewood PD are all aesthetics and little results. They're budget is being spent wisely.
