Never before during my 14 years of working with the community have I seen changes like the ones she made and they are beginning to work in this neighborhood. She is also human, fair and honest. She is a people-person which is needed In this line of work. Persons who were privileged to get to know her and work with her admire and appreciate her. We Senior Citizens were beginning to feel comfortable walking the streets in the H Street area.
Continuity is key in doing things well.
I know change has to be, but at least let the good things get a head start. Groomes was working to improve community relations and prevent crime and keep people out of jail. No one had the courtesy to send an officer to inform us of Sgt. I am also praying that the transfer does not completely destroy the morale of the officers especially the better ones. I request a copy of this letter be placed in Sgt.
