Not enough officers

Dear Editor:

RE: “Unnecessary fatality” and “Opposes speed bumps” (Aug. 19).

Both letters suggest many solutions, but miss hitting the main problem which is that we do not have enough police officers to take care of these things.

We need to at least double the present number of patrolling police officers and continue to do so for the next five years at least. There is big trouble ahead if we fail to do so, in my opinion.
