We'd like to see our Town leaders step up and explore contracting for law enforcement services with the Sheriff's Department like the Village of Waterford, and now the Town of Burlington do.
Not only could we save in excess of $100,000 a year, but we would likely improve the police service we get.
We've noticed that the Town's police chief has a take home large truck for a squad but doesn't even live in the Town and doesn't respond to calls. He apparently sits in his office all day while another full-time cop is out on patrol. Do we really need two cops on duty at a time in the Town -where one of them sits in the office all day.
I hope our Town Board will take a look at this. These are dire economic times and we hope our leaders will step up and save us money while improving service with a law enforcement contract with the Sheriff's Department.
