Keep Pinole police fully funded: Letter to the editor

I have lived in Pinole for 20 years and have always been impressed with the police force and the excellent work they do on a daily basis.

Lately, there have been discussions by the City Council of possible funding cuts to the Police Department in order to balance the budget. There are other areas and services that can be cut. Public safety must remain the top concern of the City Council.

I and the majority of Pinole residents do not want to see any cuts to the police. In fact, the four vacant positions must be filled immediately.

After spending 29 years in law enforcement I know the importance of staffing and the difference it makes in serving the needs of the community. Keep Pinole safe and fully fund the police department.
