Letter: Thanks to area police for getting drug dealers out of community

<p><strong>To the editor:</strong></p><p>I would like to publicly express my appreciation and gratitude for the concerted and on-going effort of the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office and Franklin and Greenwood police departments in pursuing and arresting drug offenders in this area.</p><p>I believe these efforts are going a long way toward making Johnson County a safer place to live and raise our children. The recent arrests of 120 local drug dealers — and putting their mug shots on Page 1 of the newspaper — sends a loud and clear message to drug pushers and users that this county is serious about getting the drugs and the culture that goes with them out of here.</p><p>I thank each and every police officer involved in this effort.</p><p><p><strong>Sheryl MacIntyre</strong></p><p><p><strong>White River Township</strong></p>
