This is probably a good idea, since I believe Vader still has no police officers of their own and have to “borrow” Winlock cops to make an occasional round.
Interesting news item, Sharyn.
Any specification on what type of problems are going on down here??
I haven’t noticed you posting ALOT of problems in that vicinity compared to Centralia….. Anyways.
