Am I the only one who sees the illegal activities that go on within the county of Coos? I mean “law enforcement” are the most crooked/corrupt members of this community.

Law officials spend way too much time trying to fix an arrest and conviction against law-abiding citizens rather then going out for the real criminals such as meth users, meth dealers, prescription medication abusers and dealers, child molesters and rapists. While all at the same time it’s the police, jail staff and other law officials that use these illegal and legal narcotics! Some people are in need of these pain medications, but when you can walk right into the emergency room requesting the famous Vicodin or another popular pain relieving drug for something as minor as a bruised knee or headache, and receive them on the spot plus a prescription for more, what’s up with that?

If all of our local law enforcement were to receive a pop-up drug screening, you would find that a lot use frequently. Is this the kind of security we want protecting our children and our community? No! Innocent people are being sent to prison on a regular basis from this corrupt county. What’s going on here?

Just a little looking into and you’ll see that most of our crimes are being committed by the law against our citizens.

When will someone do something?

Mr Wells is writing I believe from the State Pen. Ask him why law enforcement is "interested" in him. Why the letter was ever published I will never know.

And why the need to call me a "pussycat?" Are you trying to be cute or sexist? If any law enforcement officer is suspected of any abuse and you have PROOF not just rumor and innuendo, COME FORWARD. Don't be a coward and just post here.

And, talking Crapoola, if that was a word it would be spelled crapola, as you want the long vowel sound.

Coquillian Pussycat says:
1.You must have gotten a ticket.
2.It is standard I believe at nearly every law enforcement agency in this county.

As usual the pussy cat is attacking someone in this forum and talking crapoola.

WOW, this letter must have slipped by The World Censors, by mistake. I cannot believe they printed this one.

But say something about a BUSINESS IN THIS TOWN, and they won't print it.
I guess they don't want to make the advertisers mad at them and pull their ads.
Not right that a business can really cheat you or do anything bad and you cannot put that in THE WORLD NEWSPAPER.
But they put this letter in, all I can say is WOW ! ! !

Its the fox guarding the hen house. In the military I took urinalysis tests when told to do so, but cops cant be randomly tested. This needs to be changed. Want to be a cop, step up to the toilet.

WOW! You must have gotten a ticket, right? ALL law enforcement personnel at the Coos County Sheriff's Office go through a drug screen at hiring. It is standard I believe at nearly every law enforcement agency in this county. If at any time someone comes to work and gives the slightest hint that they may be impaired, they are dealt with. I know that for a fact, because they did have an employee who showed up "under the influence" and they were promptly trotted over the the jail. And it did not take a citizen complaint, other upstanding employees do not want to work with those who may be performing at less than peak. Do you have anything other than a grudge to back up your allegations? And remember, in MANY jobs and not just law enforcement if someone has a problem, they can be told that if they go to treatment and remain drug/alcohol free they can keep their job. The allegations have to be supported by evidence. You are way off base....and I hope that you get some counseling.
