Letter: Follow-up on suggestion on Bluffton's drug problems
Icon viewers:
Mayor Judy, thank you for sharing my concerns with the Chief. Chief Ryan came to my home this afternoon. We had a very open, honest and enlightening discussion.
I have a better understanding of the problems and what the Bluffton Police force is doing. I believe the Chief is on top of the situation and is doing all he and his force can do. I encourage the council to continue its full support of the Police Department, and suggest that (as much as possible) the community be kept inform and encouraged to support the efforts being made.
The illegal activities are down for the year, and with procedures in place Bluffton will continue to be a wonderful village to live in with safety.
Thank You again for all the effort you, the council and the village employees do in keeping Bluffton the best place to live.
Sincerely,
Mike Zimmerman
