THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! Between our online petition and the paper forms available, we collected a total of 803 signatures between October 9 and October 17 and presented them to the City Council. At the City Council meeting on October 17, the Council voted to STOP the contracting discussions with the County and KEEP OUR GRANITE FALLS POLICE DEPARTMENT! Thank you for protecting our community safety.
The Mayor and some Council members want to eliminate our Granite Falls Police Department.
We would go from a local officer patrolling our 1.7 square mile city to one County deputy patrolling 60 square miles around the city.
There are proposed alternatives that will keep our force intact, and even help the City save more than $300,000 in the next five years. Plus, the Pilchuck Foundation has offered to sponsor a pledge drive to help the City fund police equipment and training.
Tell City Government to keep us safe, by keeping our 123 year-old Granite Falls Police Department.
*** Everyone living in the Granite Falls area is impacted, so you may sign even if you don't live in city limits. You will be asked to provide the city you live in. ***
Dear Mayor and City Council,
We, the undersigned, want to keep our Granite Falls Police Department and call on you to support and fund the GFPD.
