WOW!
Kudos to Nazareth PD and CRPD. Looks like they are starting to finally clean house in the area.
One has to wonder, where the searches at the schools in some way related to this? The timing is a little more than a coincidence.
For those that have been throwing stones at the new chief, here is yet another proof point that he is actually getting something done.
More important, it is actually reported on in the papers, and what we all knew to be true, is finally being admitted in public. We have a drug problem in the area.
Great job by all law enforcement involved. It is a good start to fixing the problem and then some.
Most of the criticism of the chief that I have seen doesn't focus on his technical skill. It is more about how he conducts himself in his employment relationship with the community that is paying him.
With results like this, it is essential that the administrative stuff get resolved. The bottom line is getting the job done, and this bust is a real positive example of that.
Yes I agree... great JOB but
From what I hear It's not the chief pushing these things but the Corporal.
What I really find funny is that we have heard numerous complaints about all the "transplants" from NYC and NJ bringing this kind of thing to our neighborhoods.
Interesting that this and the other drug busts have involved long term residents, not those that have moved here.
A lot of the "transplants" moved here to get away from that stuff. I can only imagine their surprise to find out how much of it is going on and that they are getting the blame when in reality, it is our local natives.
BTW, I grew up in this area and have lived here almost all of my life.
Sorry it took a while to post, but really, instead of calling people out here, if you have legitimate information call the police.
If you are referring to an area, please note that as well.
And this has nothing to do with who has lived in which town how long. I'm glad these individuals were charged and I hope they continue to charge people for these activities.
