State Rep Michael McCready,Chief of Police David Hendrickson, and LT. Noel Clawson during 9/11 Memorial Services Ceremony to honor First Responders.

Editors Note : Lt. Noel Clawson travelled to New York immediately after 9/11 to help the NYPD and NYFD. He and the Chief are friends from way back. Residents may remember Lt.Clawson  by  presentations made to City Commission about speciality vehicles used in Police work and renderings of dolled  sporty squad cars for public relations.

A year or so ago  then Chief Maltot told  City Commission that Lt.. Clawson then taking advanced training in Colorado had a line on a possible  free Hummer for the City. There were however a couple of complications  The Hummer needed work and there would be the cost of getting it to town from 1500 miles away. The Commission later passed on the offer  Just the idea however  created quite a buzz. What could the City PSD do with a Hummer ? Cut through the brush ? Break up beer parties at Cranbrook ? Parades  and more were some of the suggestions.
