Even parked cruisers help

EDITOR:

I would like to congratulate Salem Police chief Bob Floor on a great idea of placing police cruisers around town for added visibility.

On one of the first days of the program, a cruiser was positioned on our street and had the desired effect of slowing down traffic.

Police cars are n asset and a crime deterrent. Putting them to use 24 hours a day is a good idea.
