Subject:I am NOT FOR DEFUNDING the Police Dept.

Hi, I would like to say that I am against the defunding of our wonderful police force
and our protective services in the city of Bozeman and surrounding areas. We have
caring officers that are proud of their city and live up to their duty to be responsible.
We should not only be thankful for our officers, but should consider to provide them a
raise, FOR THEIR DAILY SERVICE AND FACING THE POSSIBILITY OF LOSING
THEIR LIFE DURING A WORK SHIFT. We need to also add to the missing officers
that are sorely missed. The current trend in the United States today is to hate the
Police. I do not condone or like viewing what some police have done, ie, choke holds,
clubbing, hitting or pushing down old people. NOT GOOD. As far as I know, we
don't have those types of officers currently in our Bozeman police department.
I personally feel safer for having the type of officers we have. We are Montana proud.
Thank you for listening.
Please, we will need these officers to help and care for us in the future. Do Not be
clouded by outside influences. I am a Bozemanite and proud of it. I would like to
continue to feel safe. How about you??
-- Have a Blessed Day
