Happy reaction

News is only starting to get around town that the Lakewood City Council took a strong stand last night on community policing. It only took one email to make my morning a happy one:

I was back on the blog this morning and saw the wonderful news. Thank you for keeping me informed so I could speak in favor of the neighborhood policing. I know first hand that this is a great program that works. When you have neighbors looking out for each other with the help of the police department, it makes for a better community all the way around. When citizens get to know the officers in their area and learn how to help them it makes the job of the officer much easier too. Witnesses are more willing to talk to someone they already know. Again this was the best news ever.
