Cardinal area receives good police protection

I am writing in response to recent negative comments regarding coverage of the Greensboro Police Department in the Cardinal area.

Up until July 1, 2008, the Cardinal was located within the jurisdiction of the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office. Then the Greensboro Police Department assumed responsibility for providing law-enforcement services to our area. Both have provided a consistent, clear and highly visible presence in the Cardinal. This presence has provided a deterrent to potential perpetrators and an expeditious response time when incidents have occurred.

Our family has resided in the Cardinal area since 2002. We feel safe in our home as a result of the tremendous efforts of these two great organizations and the heroes who represent them!
We would like to thank both the Sheriff’s Office and the Greensboro Police Department for a job well done. Further, we wanted to state that negative comments from various individuals do not necessarily reflect the feelings and attitudes of the majority. Thanks, and keep up the good work!

I would like to know how David Smith thinks he speaks for the "majority".
He maybe happy with the job the police dept. is doing in the cardinal area, but how does he know he speaks for the "majority" of those in the Cardinal? And for that matter, how does he know he speaks for the majority in Greensboro?
Just because someone acts and speaks as though they speak for the majority, doesn't mean they are the majority. There are MANY MANY MANY folks in Greensboro who are NOT satisfied with the way our police dept. is performing.
