The Yakima Valley right now is seeing two cases of serious allegations of crime by those committed to stopping crime, one involving a Yakima police officer and another a Yakima County sheriff's deputy.

It's the guidelines
To the editor -- Re: Joellen Hall's Oct. 30 letter indicating that we should "clean house in the court system, including the Yakima County Prosecuting Attorney's office." As a former employee of the Yakima County Department of Assigned Counsel (public defender's office), I know the prosecutor's office does not have control over how long a person gets sentenced for when found guilty of a crime.

Bergen County's three law enforcement agencies -- the Bergen County Police Department, Prosecutor's Office and Sheriff's Office - - deploy civilian security guards in public facilities, a service that a recent report recommended should be outsourced to save taxpayers as much as $2.2 million over the next five years.
The report issued by the New York-based Guidepost Solutions in May is best known for its recommendation that the county police be downsized or eliminated. But many of the other findings within the 192-page report have not been discussed by public officials, including the conclusion that the county could save $365,000 to $440,000 a year if the three agencies hired private companies to provide security guards.
