Letter: Don't vote for people who would defund New West police

Will you ask candidates for city council if they support defunding the police?

Do candidates for New Westminster city council and mayor support defunding the police? That's one question this letter writer says all voters should ask.

Editor:

Excellent letter from Bill Davis regarding the soaring violent crime rate in our cities.

With our civic election coming up in the fall, I am once again pleading with New Westminster residents not to vote for any city council/mayoral candidates who want to defund or hamper our police services in any way, shape or form.

If you don't already know which candidates are anti-police, please ensure you attend the all-candidates meetings when they happen and ask each and every candidate if they have ever supported defunding the police department in the past or intend to in the future.
