Tyrone Police Department and Grace...Whose accomplishment?

“Police Services strengthened providing enhanced protection for the citizens. Mold removal and additional offices at Police Department with no cost to Town”
• ….”Chief Perkins added that once the mold and structure repairs are finished remodeling the basement will start. Three offices, a storage area, and two usable restrooms will be added. The detectives, evidence room, and supervisors will also be moved to the basement. He added that there is a set cap on the entire project of $105,000. Currently there is $318,000.00 in the drug fund. Chief Perkins asked Council to move forward with this project.” Ref. February 5, 2009. The improvements to the police facilities were funded and taken care of by the Police Department
NOT GRACE! So why is Grace adding this to her accomplishments. I believe the Police took on the project and funding.

If I understand this correctly Grace is taking credit for strengthening the Police Services when the truth is she actually forced the Police Department to use over $100,000 of drug funds to provide necessary facilities for them to do their job. If she was really concerned about providing enhanced security for the citizens she would have budgeted for an additional police officer to replace the one she cut out of the budget two years ago (14% increase in property crime and a 28% increase in larceny since 2007).

That is correct. She also voted to eliminate the Code Enforcer of Tyrone as well.
