No word yet on whether Colman has hired a new police chief (their online commission minutes are still stuck on August as of this writing). However, a trip through Colman last week revealed an apparent effort to save money without decreasing public safety. As the Madville Times cruised through Colman on Highway 34 last week, the staff spotted a city police car parked along the highway. We slowed from 30 to 25 and got ready to wave. Nearing the police car, though, we discovered something less than Smokey inside. The only occupant of the police car appeared to be
an empty police jacket hanging in the driver's seat.
No one ever said the Colman City Commission wasn't clever.

ReplyDeleteWhat morons, they could at least hire another officer or kept the one they had this only seems like an attempt at providing law enforcement but it really is only a false sense of security for the city and its citizens those living there and those passing through. So what is the city going to do when a person goes up to the car with a real emergency to report or request help? If they think they have liabilities now wait till some thing like that happens. I believe every city is required by law to provide law enforcement aren’t they?
ReplyDeletedoes anyone from Colman area ever read this blog and ask what is going on with their leaders?
ReplyDeleteI think they all meet down the the city bar to conduct there business. As of last week I can say still no police chief has been hired.
ReplyDeleteyes dh an di are from colman and read this often.. however we are known as outsiders cuz it seems that if you werent born in this town or married to someone who was you are a nobody ... when we moved here everyone said what a great place it is people are so friendly all we have seen so far is a bunch of 2 faced people and alot of butt kissing
ReplyDeletealso lake preston used to do the empty cop car thing too ...
and i have heard too that most of the town talk is done at the bar however i dont know first had since we dont go there
i totally agree what is gonna happen when there is a real emergency in this town... no cop here and less in the county all its gonna take is some rich person or one that knows alot of big wigs to have something go worng because of no protection and the city will wish they didnt excist kwim??
