PAGE 18 lll)ay6, 1998 THE SPOTLIGHT I I An open letter to the people ./of th~ 'lbwn of Bethlehem . TATe believe it is time that you are made aware of a serious situation. It is VV not about money; it is about the security of our town and the safety of you and your family. Bethlehem Police Officers have always been there for you, but now our officers are facing a big problem, serious staffing shortages. Think for a moment about the size of our town and then consider that there are times-when only l_officer is on patrol. Imagine that, l_officer covering 54 square miles and protecting 28,000 people at a time when we all know that the crime problems of our urban centers are spilling over into the suburbs. Then there are the politicians. They would have you believe that we created our own staffing problem because a few officers had the audacity to get hurt in the line of duty. This is not only ridiculous, it is down right insulting to our officers who take their professional responsibilities very seriously. The truth is we can't give you the protection you deserve without adequate manpower. We know our town is changing and so do you. Here's another truth: Law enforcement is a dangerous business and officers get hurt. This is reality and the politicians have to realize_ it. The-people of Bethlehem and the officers of the Bethlehem Police Department _can form a strong alliance in support of law enforcement. Let's start today with a call to your town board with a simple message -we support proper police staffing because we want our town to remain safe and secure.
