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.
Thanks Mrs. Bill Brown
