Dear Editor:

I loved Michael Chirco’s story in the March 21 issue of the Downey Patriot. (“The Paper at My Feet.”) It put a smile on my face.

I think every city should have a Downey Patriot to inform them of what’s happening in their city. Personally, I would love to see more crimes.

We had one today and thanks to the Downey Police Department, they caught caught their man after a short foot pursuit. I love happy endings.

My neighbors and I are very grateful to the police department.
