It came out again at the West Pikeland Township meeting this week that West Pikeland wants to dump the police department!!!
What???
Why??
And they have yet ANOTHER new manager which I didn’t realize until now! That nice lady who actually was intellegent is gone and before her was West Vincent’s old manager who then retired and went back to West Vincent as an interim manager.
So now it’s another manager and it’s probably the same bad zoning people that hold up everything in the township unless you know somebody who knows somebody, correct? And well the supervisors…yes them and why are they there exactly?
That township is run like somebody’s personal corner store, and I am allowed to have that opinion.
They don’t publicize anything.
They don’t record meetings.
Everything feels super secretive to residents, doesn’t it?
It is one of the most un-sunshine friendly municipalities in Chester County in my humble opinion.
Why is it they are trying to get rid of their police department?
And I know from people in the area, not necessarily that municipality, who say this has been going on for a while. Only no one wants to speak publicly about it.
People if you want to save your police force you need to talk publicly about it.
Has West Pikeland spoken to neighboring municipalities about merging forces?
Do all of these municipalities just think the Pennsylvania State Police can handle all of the local policing and the state policing? They can’t.
It’s time for a big spotlight on this municipality. The residents who live there deserve that much.
This is the municipality in which one of my favorite places in the world is located and that is Historic Yellow Springs Village.
I read some of the minutes of this Township, where they talk about the police and no resident wants their police department taken away so why are they doing it? Why don’t they do a referendum and let the voters decide because they are the ones footing the bill as taxpayers?
I don’t understand this trend of these municipalities. And it always seems to be in the ones that are super secretive like West Pikeland and Oxford Borough.
Residents of West Pikeland you have to shine a light, because none of us know what’s going on unless you tell us.
And if people want to save the police in West Pikeland, they have to be public and very vocal. Not one tiny sign on the edge of a road that if you blink you miss it:
I think it’s horrible, but I don’t live there.
Save West Pikeland Police (pass it on.)
