To the Editor:

As a member of the sandwich generation caring for aging parents and young children, I wholeheartedly endorse the Liverman/Howard team for their expressed passionate commitment to making Princeton safe for the senior and youth populations alike. And setting a great moral example for every Princeton citizen, they also have publicly declared a determination to guarantee the safety of everyone no matter what their ethnic background.

These two incumbents, who serve as Princeton Council’s liaisons to the Public Safety Committee, worry about the safety of my parents and my children as though they were related to me. They are sickened by the swatting incidents in the schools and the often unexpressed but very real terror felt by the school children under psychological attack. And simultaneously they worry about the safety of the vulnerable seniors, often home alone and targets for physical attacks and fiscal scammers.

Lance and Heather have been very active in helping the police department come together in a more efficient operation after consolidation. The department achieved savings while actually enhancing services, by instituting community policing (Safe Neighborhood Bureau). And given the national debate and tragedies in Ferguson and elsewhere, they are committed to continue their work to strengthen law enforcement ties to the community — so that everyone in town feels they are represented and protected.

Lance and Heather — it is a safe bet that I will be voting for you both on November 3.
