The department is to be commended for this kind of proactive police service.
Kudos too to police leadership for leading from the front.
If one were a CEO of a GM or Ford you would be checking out new designs and manufacturing processes with the folks doing it, on the line as it were. That is exactly what police leadership is doing here. Not just for morale building (which is important of course ) but also because it is part of the inspection process, a vital part of making sure things stay on the right track.
Kudos
Thank you CMPD working under trying circumstances and doing an outstanding job. Much appreciated!
