Well maybe they should have more on the night shifts?
Divide our police into,4 shifts and that isn’t that many.Also on the boat there are summer students.There has to be two officers on the boat
You are correct in saying we have “so many police”!
We only have so many police? We have a lot!!! How can they justify having 3 officers on the boat in the summer? It’s not Miami vice! They need to prioritize their time. A shame this is happening.
We only have so many police.They can’t watch the whole county at one time.If they could you people would really be complaining
It’s about time these thugs are caught, and it’s about time that there is some police presence in the wee hours favoured by these crooks. It shouldn’t be so much of a challenge to police that they can’t catch them; just put a bit of priority on it and put a stop to it.
Damm!Our County is sure changing, both of these Wellington business are a big asset to our community, sorry to hear about break-in, it is the last thing a small business needs.
