These candidates bring a wealth of knowledge and experience not only in the business world, but also in the public sector and the not-for-profit arena.  They are dedicated to public service, and care for the Town where they live and have raised their families.

Given the depth of experience on the Police Commission, these candidates are very familiar with the issues confronting our Police Department.  In their collective view, the most pressing issues are:  (1) the safety and welfare of children, including school security and drug prevention, (2) continuing to address the traffic problems that confront Ridgefield, (3) maintaining the proper level of training for our officers, (4) ensuring that our police force has the proper equipment and resources, (5)  maintaining full transparency between the Police Commission, the Department, and the residents of Ridgefield.

These individuals are dedicated public servants, and have served our Town well.  They deserve to be re-elected to the Police Commission in November.
