I had the opportunity this past Friday to spend a couple of hours fighting crime with Officer Chris Fietek. To be honest, she fought crime. I observed her. During our two hours together, we responded to a medical call of a resident who thought he was having a heart attack; issued two traffic tickets; and gave two written warnings.
I took the opportunity to show Officer Fietek where the new CVS pharmacy would be built this summer; looked at the future site of the Presbyterian Homes development; and drove out to the site where United Health Group is planning to build its new corporate headquarters someday. We also talked about the new Art Center, the new dynamic signs ordinance and the proposed LRT alignment.
I enjoy doing Ride Along visits with our Police Department. We have a top notch group of people in our Police Department, both those on the streets and those working behind the scenes. Thanks Chris!
