I it ems' eau
The Exeter Times -Advocate surveyed prominent mem-
bers in our community asking for their forecast of
2005.WiIl it be a year of development, change or chal-
lenges or will it be a year of cutbacks, hard decisions or
hard work?

der
2005 will be a year of: Reevaluating how we con-
duct business to ensure that we continue to provide
a service that suits our communities' needs.
Why: There are very few new dollars being dedi-
cated to policing so we have to ensure every dollar is
well spent and having an impact on the communi-
ties' needs.
The coming year's challenges and how to meet
them: There is no shortage of challenges our com-
munities are dealing with today. The real challenge
is dedicating our limited resources to the priorities of
the communities we serve. A means of communica-
tion with the citizens of Middlesex to ensure we
know and hear what their issues are will be the
ongoing struggle.
