Hansen,<br> <br> The most important goal for the police department is protection of the people, not retention of officers. <br> <br> 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. <br> <br> 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 "<font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Moscow Police Department to become a way station for the highly qualified and a dump station for the unqualified</span></font>." <br> <br> Regards,<br>
