The Lakewood Police community outreach officers have these meetings every few months to connect with the community. This next one is on light rail safety, and I am hoping that the community will be active in making sure that the information that we are getting about rail safety is accurate and answers the needs of the community. Already, the Lakewood police are more polite than the Denver police when they are on the light rail. I think we need to have a community discussion about whether we want police officers to be checking to see if people are paying their fares rather than working to keep transit users safe.
