Under the Microscope

 

Several small police departments in Lackawanna County are now part of a study to see if a combination makes sense.

As a resident of one of these communities, I do have my concerns.  I also have an open mind, and I'm sure there are some things that can be done better.  There are no prefect organizations, public or private.  All can benefit from a good, up close look.

Officers say it's tough getting help, and the business has more challenges than ever.

I think I'm like a lot of people who fear losing that cop in town.  But, it's a new age.  New realities.  New challenges.  New dangers.

A merger is still a long way off, and far from a certainty.

The report should be among the best reading of the year.
