She stated that she felt the City's goal is to <br />protect the community and having the police department in this park <br />area will help in this regard. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Bill Christian, 18847 Dodge Ave NW, indicated he feels the City has <br />done a good job on the project and that a lot of thought and research <br />has gone into the project.
