ISLAND REPORTER • Weak of Aug. 16-22, 2001 Q 9 Opinion Police union falls short of professionalism The letter from Paul Noeske, Fraternal Order of Police (Aug. 2, Island Reporter), is inaccurate. It flies in the face of the professionalism of the Sanibel Police Department. Every one of our police officers is highly trained in the use of deadly force. There is no higher responsibility on the part of a law enforcement officer than to make sure that when he fires his weapon, he is certain there is no other alternative for the protection of life. This did not occur in Mr. Sposato's case. No one's life had been threatened when Mr. Sposato fired his weapon.
