Retired cops are coming back
It's good to see local towns getting creative with law enforcement positions. As budget crunches affect more and more municipalities, we may see a lot more of this kind of thing. I did note that the electric vehicle that Officer Ihlen may get to help him in his duties will be a high-tech solution compared to the officers on horseback that we used to see in downtown parks. The exhaust is a bit earthier when it comes to horses, but their approachability makes up for it. It's touch to feel much reserve toward a cop after you pat the neck of his or her horse. Still, we live in an age when technology changes from moment to moment, so maybe an electric vehicle will make Officer Ihlen even more welcome on his downtown beat.
