A longtime former Weyburn police officer had some comments to make after chief Jamie Blunden resigned from the Weyburn Police Service.

To the Editor:

Yes, I am running for City Council in the upcoming election.

But we need to have a serious discussion about why the Board of Police Commissioners and the outgoing Police Chief ‘s values stopped aligning.

The important value that we should all agree on is the value of what’s best for the people.

And if the current Board thinks that closing the doors of the Police Service during weekend and overnight is the right thing to do — well, boy, do we need a change there.

I spent well over three decades working for the Police Service, and closing the doors to save money is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard!

Dana Pretzer, WPS retired
