Letters To The Editor

Kudos to Lakewood Police, Fire and Mayors Office

Thursday, January 25, I witnessed the truly amazing skills of the Lakewood Police and Fire Departments. With this being the second potentially disastrous event in as many weeks, Lakewood came forth to prevent a person from doing harm to himself or others. Working in unison and utilizing every possible means at their disposal, the departments joined together to secure my street and keep bystanders from harm. I believe this was the result of exemplary training and the aid of Mayor George's office.

During my three years as a Lakewood resident, I have seen the extraordinary work of police officers working to curb the drug problem here–an issue facing many other cities as well. Lakewood still is one of the most beautiful communities one can hope to live in with its historical buildings, parks and people. Unfortunately, bad news seems to get the most attention.

It is my hope that this article reassures Ohioans that Lakewood, even with its share of difficulties, is still to be respected and sought out as a community to live in and feel secure about. If it were in my power to bestow medals upon people, I would surely honor the Lakewood Police and Fire Departments, along with the many other city officials responsible for keeping Lakewood a safe community and great place to call home.
