It's amazing how highly the
It's amazing how highly the Sheriff's Dept. boosts themselves over their few and far between "bust." Seems to me that they are forgetting other issues on hand of all the other crimes being committed within the city. Please shine some light and effort towards Drivers under the influence and gang activity.
WAY TO GO WPD!
