Corrected entry: Spartan is frozen in 1996 and was thawed in 2032; a time span of 38 years, during which time San Angelo has become a more or less crime free paradise. No one in the SAPD expects or knows how to deal with violent criminals or even disobedience of any kind. However, at least the police chief and the black officer (who recognised Phoenix's name on the list) were old enough to remember the pre-paradise times. Indeed, Spartan even mentions knowing the black officer being on the force before. So why do they have no idea how to proceed and need Spartan when they would have experienced troubles earlier in their careers?

Correction: Chief Earl and Zachary Lamb may have been around for the days where crime was rampant and the police had means to deal with it, but they are now living in a society where crime is almost non-existent and means such as guns and physical force have been outlawed, with the glow rods rendering people unconscious being the only option to deal with non-compliant citizens. Earl and Lamb themselves are too old and the police force as a whole does not have the training necessary to deal with a violent sociopath like Simon Phoenix, who unlike other criminals in the city, has not been rehabilitated to be docile.
