To the Editor:

As a 10-year resident of Barnegat Township, I wanted to respond to your article “Barnegat Mayor: Police Department Needs a New Home” (1/27).

It does seem awfully coincidental that the issue of a new law enforcement building is coming on the heels of a recent municipal local committee approval to upgrade the communications platform for the PD at a significant expense. This is on the heels of most recent purchases of additional police patrol vehicles.
