Hansen,
  
  The most important goal for the police department is protection of the people, not retention of officers. 
  
  This is a small town, about 10-12,000 permanent residents. Police  officers probably are on a first name bases with most of the city  council members, this is certainly better representation then what most  officers have in big union cities. 
  
 I didn't vote for Nancy  Chaney this time around. But I sure know that she cares deeply for this  town and the people in it, including the police force. This mayor has  only been in office for a few months, I think we all at least owe her  the chance to work with the police in handling their problems that you  claim will force the "Moscow Police  Department to become a way station for the highly qualified and a dump station  for the unqualified."

    To  develop retention, wages/salaries must be kept at a competitive level,  grievances of employees must be heard and considered, and rights of  employees must be secured.
     
    Until  last January these issues, as they relate to our police department,  received nothing more than lip service from our city council; lip  service loaded with empty promises
     
    For quite a while our local police  department has been suffering severe turnover problems as a result of these  empty promises.
     
    Moscow, my adopted home town, deserves better.
     
    Don&#8217;t  allow the Moscow Police Department to become a way station for the  highly qualified and a dump station for the unqualified.
     
    Allow our local police department to  organize.
     
    Seeya round town, Moscow.

        Do you think that there is any organization that can not be improved?

    Wayne,
  
  If you didn't want public comment on why you think we need better MPD  officers and we would get it through the officers paying a union, why  did you put it on Vision 2020, a public forum? 
  
  Nice try dodging of the question.
