Letter: 300 reasons to back Cridersville levy
As the principal of Cridersville Elementary School, I write to you to express my undeniable support for the Cridersville Police Levy to be voted on by residents on May 4th. I have been asked several times why I support this half of one percent (0.5%) levy, and my answer has remained consistent with over 300 reasons. These reasons are between the ages of 3 and 10.
Without a local law enforcement officer available, the quickest response from any officer would be over 12 minutes away from either Wapakoneta City Police officers or the Auglaize County Sheriff’s office. I know the students of Cridersville Elementary are not my personal biological children, but I want to protect them, care for them and keep them safe from outside harm like they are my own.
Letter: Cridersville needs police protection
Imagine for a moment the feeling of uneasiness, uncertainty, and frustration with the following scenario: You called 911 to urgently request the assistance of a police officer! However, there is no officer on duty in your village! The call for help is dispatched to the Auglaize County Sheriff’s Office. That department potentially may not arrive for what seems like a long period of time because of being involved with another call elsewhere in the county. By the time a deputy is able to arrive, the situation has escalated.
This is the reality of what could take place if Cridersville no longer has full-time police coverage. We would have no choice but to call on the Auglaize County Sheriff’s Office to respond. That department’s workload and responsibility is already extensive. There may be only two deputies on duty to cover the entire county. Also, those deputies are only permitted to enforce state laws, not specific local ordinances.
