MASON CITY – Councilman Alex Kuhn told NIT today that he is “very concerned” about the crime issues in Mason City.
He said that he has spoken with Mason City Police Chief Michael Lashbrook on Thursday and is set to ride along with an on-duty police officer today.
Kuhn hopes to “learn more about how we can address this” on-going and seemingly growing problem in Mason City.
NIT will attempt to find out what Kuhn learns from his time with the MCPD today.
I think the last time Kuhn talked to Matt was when he was begging him not to run the video on his drunken behavior at eleven. Matt 1, Kuhn 0.
Matt did Kuhn ever call you about this? What did he find out?
Watcher is full of shit or himself, wonder who that is? I need to add stupid also. Kuhn is just being a prick about the ride along because HE KNOWS NIT would let it out and the hard core truth. Period.
maybe have more than 4 cops patrol the city at a time & crime might not be so high, yes 4 cops for all of mason city
Maybe Kuhn can buy watcher a drink next time he’s in eleven throwing a tantrum.
Great job Matt. Love the tokens from the beermeyer brown collar club members. I’ll bet they get a pat on the head and a dog treat at the end of the day.
So, are we going to get some sort of report on this ride along? I hope some good comes out of it. A couple of questions I have, 1. I know the council has a say over the funding the police dept gets, but do they also have some say in how they conduct their business. 2. If we as taxpaying citizens have some ideas on the direction the police dept takes, who should we go to. I guess over all I am kind of in agreement with Pete L. Not on all the details or solutions but the big problem starts with the attitude and the way people are brought up in society, we need to fix that first. The cops are necessary but we need to do something before the crimes if we really want to improve the community.
