Overheard

Around 6 o’clock Saturday evening, I’d just entered Super 1/Kathleen Avenue en route to rent “Madagascar II” when I heard a man behind me complaining loudly about the Coeur d’Alene Police Department. “It’s the worst I’ve ever seen,” the mid-thirtyish man told a female companion, as they grabbed a shopping cart. “I’ve been all around this country,” he continued, “and Coeur d’Alene police are the absolute worst, bar none.” I didn’t stick around to hear whether he explained his particular beef. But I disagree with him. Chief Wayne Longo at CPD Blue seems to run a good department, as did others before him.

Question: What do you think of the performance of your local police department (CPD Blue, PFPD Blue, KCSD, or other)?
