now and I am very disappointed by the lack of focus and commitment being dedicated
to this crisis. Where is the leadership needed to solve this problem?
This is a serious problem that has the potential to get people hurt or
worst yet killed, unless we get ahead of this now.
We are fortunate to have the most professional and best run police
department in the nation. Our officers work hard keeping a city this
size safe with a force this small. Above it all, few people have the
courage to face the daily danger and abuse these professionals face
everyday.
Our officers deserve the best pay and best logistical and resource
support we can give them. Stop playing games and make public safety and
the salaries of our police officers a priority.
