Ridgewood NJ, Are we going to have to replace all those brand new police cars? Ford has known this for five years, apparently. Ford Explorers blamed for alleged carbon monoxide leaks that sickened cops.
Why do we even need these high priced SUVs? What are we a remote town in Oregon?
Total waste of money.
Most of the taxpayers would like to see more police on foot patrol improving pedestrian crosswalk compliance and general community
Involvement at least in the dangerous business district .They sit in these
cacooon SUVs as part of their patrols but I agree we are paying too much
in taxes to not seek a more efficient use of our money on issues like overnight parking , and babysitting PSEG despite the per diem the town
Bills the utility while we the taxpayers fund their pensions and old plated
benefits .The do a good job but in many ways we spend like drunken sailors in this town.Parking enforcement is fat on expenses too.
