To the editor:
Recently I had the pleasure of visiting Caribou and old friends – it was a great visit until I went to the Caribou Police Station.
I was very sad to see the horrible conditions of the police station — it was very dirty, with paint and plaster peeling from the walls. The cells were in such awful shape that it would likely not pass inspection. All of the rooms were filled with junk and the bathrooms were filthy. The floor was coming up and so scratched/stained – it was hard to tell what it was made of.
From what I heard the morale at the police station is low due to the terrible working conditions. The city office was upgraded but nothing has been done to the police station.
As citizens of Caribou you should be proud of your police station and the men and women who work there protecting your city. It is time to get behind the Chief and rectify the situation.
