Times Advocate, 1991-05-15, Page 14COMMUNITY Times -Advocate, May 15, 1991 Page 13 Letter to Editor Reader thanks God for local pollee Dear Editor. The letter in your May 1, 1991 paper of "Too many police in Ex- eter" signed by the two gentlemen, upset me very much. With the amount of crimes that are commit- ted in and around each town across our Province, we are going to need many, many more local Police plus our OPP. These fel, lows also said, their area does not have as many crimes as other are- as - reason... "your police are do- ing a great job"... that why. An awful lot of crimes are com- mitted by young offenders and un- til their names can openly be made public (regardless of who they are) we are going to see more and more crimes committed. I know of one incident where there was a break, enter, theft and possession of stolen property,. and the five who did it, ALL of them were ONLY 1Lyeaes old, the things they stole were of NO value to them, but was of great value to the owners. With our economy the 111) way it is today - no work, no jobs - no mon- ey - thefts are on the increase and we NEED every local policeman and every OPP that we can get, and yes they do have to be paid, we (all the communities) all scem tc have money for recreation, booze, cigar- ettes, junk food, and good times, so we should be able to find lots of money for our police, they deserve every penny they get. I would not want to be in any of their shoes, with what they have to cope with each day, family dis- putes, drunks, armed robberies, etc. etc. etc. ... name it, they get it. I for one sure hope our local po- lice never disappear. (1 do not live in Exeter, but get the Exeter paper. I suggest the two fellows who signed the letter, travel for one week (day and night) with one Ex- eter policeman and then maybe they will feel different about how many police, Exeter should have, and they could report back to the members of Council what took place. All these fellows have to do is read Crime Stoppers, listen to news broadcasts, listen to the news , on T.V. or pick up any newspaper and they will see NUMEROUS crimes committed in towns and ar- eas ALL across Canada almost every minute of every day. Litiank God for our local police ulnd our OPP, just keep up the good work guys and girls.. We need you all.
