Editor,
I’m writing this letter to let the citizens of Lake County know that our K-9 dog Sole is asking for our help in donations to help pay for a Bullet/Stab Proof Vest to help keep her safe. Donations go directly to and checks should be made payable to: Lake County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Fund. Send Checks to Lake County Sheriff’s Office 106 4th Avenue East Polson, Mt. 59860 all donations are tax deductible.
The reason why our Sheriff’s Office does not have the funding to purchase a vest for our K-9 is because the county commissioners want to cut more of the LCSO budget. If the Commissioners care about our deputies I think that before they cut the budget they should do four things. One: attend a Citizens Academy Program; Two: go on a ride-a-long during the day from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.; Three: go on a ride-a-long at night from 5 p.m. until midnight; and four: just hang out with an officer and see what they do to keep Lake County, the streets, people and the citizens safe 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days of the year. Because as I see it our officers are out there putting their lives on the line, and the commissioners are sitting in their office seeing how and where the budget needs to be cut. Figures. So to the Lake County Commissioners: think before you cut the LCSO’s budget.
