Dear Editor,
Recently, burglars entered my home in Port Antonio, Portland. I contacted the police to report the break-in but, to be honest, I was not very hopeful and expected them to ignore the report.
But I couldn't have been more wrong. The police immediately began to investigate and, very quickly, found the thief and the stolen items.
Not only did they do their job and do it extremely well, they took the time to call me to let me know they had resolved the case.
I felt compelled to write this letter to help dispel the perceptions that our police are ineffectual and uninterested — perceptions I had previously held.
After my experience, I have renewed respect for our police force and want to thank them for the hard work they do for us every day.
I particularly want to thank Detectives Palmer and Bell of the Port Antonio Police Station for their professionalism and support.
