Prompt response by police

THE EDITOR: I wish to publicly thank the officers of the Santa Rosa Police Post for their prompt, courteous and efficient response to my distress call. At 4.15 am on July 23, I heard noises outside my home and noticed a man running across my driveway. I immediately alerted my family and neighbours and then phoned the police. The police responded in about five minutes and conducted a thorough search, to no avail. At a time when the police service is under such public scrutiny, I feel it is my duty as a law-abiding citizen to acknowledge the quick and professional response from these officers. Unfortunately I did not take the names of the officers so that my family and I could thank them publicly.
