I appreciate Officer Gagnon’s work downtown, on foot no less. For residents to see police presence is such a positive thing.

Also, my delayed comment on Karen Kreworuka’s Sept. 26 article on Lewiston School Resource Officer Kenneth Strout: It is very important for children to view police as someone who is there when help is needed, and not as a public enemy.

It’s nice to read positive articles.
