LETTER TO EDITOR: Well protected

When I read the June 5 letter from Dale Lange about the police department, I just about came out of my chair.

I just completed the Bella Vista Citizens Police Academy and I can assure you that Dale has no idea what he's talking about. He should sign up for the next available class and get some facts before he writes his next letter. His view of Bella Vista is not accurate.

Our police department is very professional, competent and dedicated. Dale will learn that we are protected as well as we are by a department staffed at less than 50% of recommended levels. We must be ready to support them for the future by being ready to increase staffing and infrastructure.
