Mayor Flaherty 39 <br />advised that in the past four years, the Council has not been afraid to spend money on the Police 40 <br />Department if they need additional vehicles, scanners, or other equipment. He commented on the 41 <br />importance of setting up Neighborhood Watch Groups, advising that one was formed due to 42 <br />recent burglaries and since then, there had been no more burglaries in that area. 43 <br /> 44
