LETTERS: PRAISE FOR ARTICLES ABOUT DRUGS

To the editor:

On behalf of the Cape Girardeau Police Department, I would like to extend my appreciation to Mike Wells and Jeffrey Jackson for their excellent series of articles in the recent drug-prevention insert, "Making Choices."

As we have emphasized, education of our community is a key ingredient of our success against illegal drugs. The information pertaining to the pitfalls of drug abuse as well as the dangers of methamphetamine were not only timely but informative and interesting.

As a community partner, we sincerely appreciate the journalistic endeavors of Mr. Wells and Mr. Jackson as well as the sincere spirit of cooperation on behalf of the Southeast Missourian.

RICHARD L. HETZEL, Chief of Police
