I am just truely glad for the work the JPD is doing about the drugs we have in jamestown . yes i know its a on going job for the police dept. just keep up the good work .
why don’t you guys check your own halfway houses for drugs or are you all on the take?
Great job even though I’m back in okahoma I hate people that have to do drugs
The federal, state, county, n city police are doing a great job. They could use more help from all of us. You know when your neighbors have way too many visitors. People who come and stay 5 10 or 15 minutes and then go . the visitors are all skinny, texting on their phones pacing back and forth. Most of them don’t have cars they’re addicts. They are our children,brothers, sisters, and friends. This isn’t what they intended to have happen with their lives but after the first few times doesn’t matter anymore this is what they are. If you know somebody like that you think oh my God I don’t want them to go to jail that would be terrible. It will be a bad record put on their future. Let me tell you what they don’t have, a future, if they overdose. I lost my 23 year old son I much rather he was in jail right now.
What does size have anything to do with drugs.
We can’t go around hating people that do drugs! This type of mentality is just plain ignorant! These people need our help! My nephew died of a heroine overdose earlier this year and I wish I would have been able to help him! These people are no different then any of you that pick up a bottle! We need places for these people to go to get the help they need! Public humiliation and criticism is not the way to go! And I noticed one of these individuals was charged for possession of marijuana! Get real! Don’t I wish all that kids were doing these days is smoking a little pot! So please people lets change the tone from hatred to caring!
