Letters to the Editor

Police shouldn’t try to be sneaky

I read with utter disbelief the quote from Sgt. Steve Raker that it’s good to have patrol officers on motorcycles because that way “you can sneak up on people” (“Sheriff’s office putting motorcycles on patrol” June 11).

In a city and county where crime runs rampant and one can daily see events that are, to say the least, mind-boggling, where people are murdered, where citizens are assaulted, and where some actual police visibility would be a good thing, I am appalled to think that he wants to get on a motorcycle to “sneak up on people.”

I would suggest that the police go about their business of protecting society by arresting people who are blatantly breaking the law and not try to pad their quotas by “sneaking up on people.”

And one wonders what is wrong with society today!
