Dear Citizens of Hammond;
We have been informed that Mayor McDermott has prohibited his Police Department from providing this public service to Team Hammond's citizens. Chief Miller has known he has been on our agenda for over two months! Team Hammond's public dialog with the Mayor clearly stated that this was a public service that should be rendered to all Hammond citizens. The Mayor replied that such public service was not available to a group that openly opposed him during the last mayoral election.Team Hammond repeatedly stated the Mayor could rescind, and thereby recover from, his flawed decision. At this time, we must conclude, the Mayor will not reverse his decision.
Team Hammond regrets our immature mayor's position on this issue. We have always treated our guests with utmost respect, and Chief Miller would have been no exception. Chief Miller and his staff were to be recognized tonight for their advanced educational achievements.
Team Hammond is working to fill this gap in our programming with an alternate law enforcement source. Failing that, we will review updated FBI statistics and compile a citizen's analysis of improvements we would like to see from Hammond Public Safety.
From Jim Premeske - Team Hammond
