Lewistown & Derry Twp. cuts service, now MCRPD cuts officers

It's not rocket science. BTW I heard that patrol officers in Brown Township caught 2 people burglarizing the Bellvue. Another good job done by Regional Police.

I dunno if he is from Mifflin County or not, but if so, he came back to Mifflin County to serve his community. "Roundthebend" what have these officers done to have you question their credibility? I've engaged several of them in conversation, all of which have been very professional and personal. I understand that there are still a few left from the "old school" way of doing things, but the majority of the officers out there are new and ready to do things the right way. I am very pleased and proud of the service that they provide, but then again, my municipality purchases the appropriate amount of service needed to cover the calls and have patrol time. I for one am in favor of patrol time; as it prevents crime. It's not rocket science. BTW I heard that patrol officers in Brown Township caught 2 people burglarizing the Bellvue.

Wrong , it was a private citizen that alerted police of a burglary in process at Bel-vue,

By the way bigshot, I am defending the idea that Lewistown is screwing themselves by wanting out, I'm just saying there aren't any police officers with much credibility to make these citizens want to stand up and defend their honor!

What Truth? Having an opinion that Lewistown Borough should stay with a high priced MCRPD. is not truth,it is an opinion. If that is truth then maybe the Sentinel poll 50% in favor of Lewistown forming its own, and 42% opposed must also be truth..

Good. I'm glad a citizen alerted police. That is the way it is supposed to work. Maybe you are not aware that the police don't have telepathic powers to know where and when crimes are being committed. As such, they depend on citizens to make them aware of suspicious activity. This was a cooperative effort between concerned citizens and the police in apprending these juvinile offenders.
If these young men are left off the hook and back on the street in a few days to commit more crime, that is a flaw of the judicial system, and not the police.

He was asking rorschach, not you. Are you getting confused now and responding to posts you typed under a different name?

No, I don't do as JunkE does, I stand firm on my opinions. I don't need to change my name to be able to be in the majority on an opinion. Right from wrong is what I go by.
