Being a mother of small children, you have to wonder how bad it is going to be when my children are older. Drug penalties need to be much steeper and worse than a slap on the wrist, as should violence charges. I also think there should be absolutely zero tolerance for any kind of criminal gang activity. There are not enough police in Grande Prairie. In fact, I hear people make jokes on a regular basis about the lack of police enforcement and how you can get away with darn near anything here. We need more police and more stiff penalties for polluting our quality of life. Doesn't any one else seem to be concerned about this? JOSIE SPINK Grande Prairie - --- MAP posted-by: SHeath(DPFFlorida)
