To the Editor:

My wife and I have owned our house in Surf City since 1998. Ten years ago it became our home, year ’round. During this time, I have observed the Surf City police perform their duties every day (especially during winter). A police car passes my houses, sometimes several times a day. They appear to check on properties, and look for suspicious activities. Their presence is reassuring.

On several occasions, we have called them: once, when I injured my back, and when my wife fell and was hospitalized.
