No need to replace Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo

In response to your Feb. 14 story, “Candidate for sheriff seeking openness”:

Perhaps Tim Bedwell, a retired North Las Vegas police officer, made it only to lieutenant because he doesn’t understand the need and timing of Sheriff Joe Lombardo’s release of information on the Oct. 1 shooting, crime scene and investigation. I’m 79 years old, and even I understand that, when a crime is being investigated, it is necessary to keep some important information private.

Since Mr. Lombardo became our sheriff, there’s been a big improvement in public relations. So three cheers for Sheriff Joe Lombardo. He’s doing a great job. Anyone with any sense will vote for him.

Local police need our help. Similar to the Nevada DMV initiative to have us report unregistered vehicles, we need to be able to report dangerous drivers who are a threat to the safety of all citizens.
