When our Police are no longer safe on the streets of New York City, no one is safe.

When our Police are no longer safe on the streets of New York City, no one is safe.

The following letter by Queens Village Republican Club member Fred Bedell are heartfelt words that must be said. It was sent out to our local Queens weeklies and regional newspapers.

The following letter was published in the “Readers Write” column of the December 19th Times Legder Newspaper.
Supporting our police officers for protecting us day and night, is not a Republican or Democrat political issue, it’s an American issue. The U.S. Constitution was established in order to “…establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense…” The first job of government is public safety, and to protect our lives and liberties from all enemies, foreign and domestic.

NYPD: Not To Be Trusted?
By Joseph Concannon, NYPD, Captain (Ret)
The NYPD provides a shield to the citizens and residents of New York City 24/7, 365 days a year. This security blanket is composed of over 50,000 honorable men and women from all over the downstate region. The agency is responsible for the public safety of the residents of the city as well as the two to four million people who commute in and out of NY each and every day. By land, sea and air, NYPD covers NYC with courtesy, professionalism and respect.
