Recent crime stats for New Westminster should be a 'wake-up call' for residents of the city, this letter writer says.

Editor:

The most recent list of crime statistics in the City of New Westminster produced by the NWPD is quite shocking and should be a wake-up call for everyone in this town to support our brave women and men in the police services.

A couple of years ago we actually had city council members who wanted to defund our police department. And I believe that one or two of them still hold a seat on city council.

I truly hope that these folks have had plenty of time to come to their senses and are now 100 per cent in support of our police services.
