A police department with some sense
I will be bashing a particular group of police in my next post, but want to give some credit where it is due. From Yahoo News
WISCONSIN RAPIDS, Wis. – People too tipsy to drive on New Year’s Eve are being offered a free ride home — by the sheriff.
According to Sheriff Tom Reichert, he won’t just be providing a service to partygoers.
“This really helps our department, because it keeps people that would be at risk off the road,” he said, “and that’s really a goal of ours through the holiday season.”
Plans call for the sheriff and a member of the Wood County Tavern League to provide rides for those from rural areas that don’t have taxi service.
Tom Vruwink lent a minivan from his dealership, allowing for more people to get a lift from the sheriff if they need it.
All too often we hear about asshole cops. It is nice to see a police department work toward protecting the public rather than jailing it.
Too true….
Hey, are you just going to be posting these here now or at last free voice too?
Also, the last post says there are 10 comments but there are only 9. I hate it when computers can’t count to ten without messing it up…
I will be at both.
C’mon down!
