I would like to add to the comments made by Patricia Kennedy of Union in her recent letter to the editor concerning inclusiveness and the Union County Sheriff s Office under Cody Bowen.
I certainly agree with her assertions that coverage from The Observer on this issue would be an important step in our nation s efforts in the direction of combating white supremacy. In many ways the importance of our police departments in confronting implicit bias is paramount in this struggle. Sheriff Bowen seems like a progressive person who might be willing to consider this topic as part of his commitment to the people he serves. As Kennnedy suggests, an interview from him would be an important service to our community as well.
