Lisbon Police Chief David T. Brooks Operates A Protection Racket For Select Individuals

SERVE AND PROTECT

The Lisbon Police Department has lost the meaning of “Serve and Protect”.  Chief Brooks is not operating a police force but a protection racket for a select membership of the Town of Lisbon.  This is extremely obvious by the enforcement of Wing Street.

Wing Street is a posted street “No Thru Trucks”.  Tractor Trailer trucks utilize this street to come and go home.  The same tractor trailer trucks blow right through the STOP sign at Wing Street and Scottsdale Avenue.  This has been reported repeatedly to the Lisbon Police Department and totally ignored by the same.

There are several tractor trailer trucks parked overnight in Huston Park.  These trucks are completely loaded at times and put a severe strain on these narrow streets.  Local streets are narrow and parking these trucks on the side of these streets creates an enormous Public Safety issue being totally ignored by the Lisbon Police Department putting local residents at risk.

Lisbon Police Officers take their guidance from their Chief.  These officers are extremely professional and do a super job.  They must do what they are instructed to do by their Chief.  This is the only explanation for these officers to ignore this Public Safety issue in Huston Park.

Residents no longer call and report these issues because for years their calls have been ignored.  I guess it will take an incident or fatality before the Lisbon Police Department will convert back to “Serve and Protect”.
