Please take the time to view the recent council meeting video that has been telecasted this past week, 6/23.
As citizen comments were solicited regarding Section 8, the camera was scanned back to the council table. The seriousness of the situation and the impact to these citizens is not represented by your demeanor. Please be mindful you are representing our community in your actions and appearence.

I am a long time resident of Middletown, and retired from the city itself. Many things have changed since I was actually employed here in middletown, however, I do think that the conduct of the Police Department could use some constructive critism. When one works for the city, their conduct is displayed on and off duty. My wife and I own an establishment here in town, and we do serve alcohol. We don't question our patrons on what they do for a living, and judge them for how many drinks they take. But when a female police officer boldly announces that "this" is where she works, after getting very drunk with her friends, it's not a good representation of what's supposed to be in an 'upstanding' position with the community, it makes those like me lose faith in the protection of our city. I didn't appreciate the rude comments, and the bad language directed to me and my staff, when we approached her on her behavior. Middletown needs officers of good character and upstanding citizenship. If this is what we have resorted to, and there is no one else more qualified than "this" to protect our city, then we should all have something to worry about. | | 8/18/2008 12:41:46 PM | Linda | | As far as the conduct of the police department, this should be taken up with the Department itself! I agree that I am sure there are some issues in regards to this very thing regarding off duty officers, but it should be handled with their superiors. If the complaint is just ignored since it's against the "police", then it should be taken to a higher official, until the "off duty" female officers know how to act and present themselves. |
