Dear Editor:
In defense of the local police
department I wish to make a
few statements in thier behalf.
There are very few cities in
the United States that police
are required to or do check
doors of every business estab
lishment. If businessmen want
their doors checked they should
get a merchant patrol started
which is common throughout
most cities in the country.
I have been robbed six times
since I’ve been here in business
and have not tried to put the
blame on any of the police of
ficers for not solving the crime.
Our shoplifting amounts to a
lot more each month than all
the robberies in Palmer.
As for the teen-age drink
ing and carrousing around all
night I do not hold the police
to blame. If the parents cannot
control them why should the
police? Perhaps the parents
should hire individual baby
sitters.
If the police were to take
everyone home we would have
to have a police force number
ing upwards of 10 or more on
duty each night.
It doesn’t do any good to ar
rest them as there is no law.
The good party put the voting
age down to 19. The curfew
age is 17 years. Under 17 when
the police tell them to go home
they go as far as the city lim
its and then laugh at the police.
On teenagers obtaining alco
holic beverages: I don’t think
any of our merchants would
sell liquor to anyone that is not
of age. We recently had an ex
ample of where they get their
liquor. If it isn’t purchased for
them they'll kick somebody in
the face or beat them up—with
no punishment for the deed in
question.
If anyone is worried about
break-ins or robberies there is
insurance coverage available at
about $10.00 per thousand de
pending on the type of busi
ness. This would be less than
cost of a Merchant Patrolman.
Enuf to do now, picking up
bottles,
NEAL WRIGHT
