“Yeah, there is. … That is kind of a tough one. … On the news you only hear about the bad ones. They say that in Europe or someplace, you just think negativity until you need them, and you call them. … God bless America, and thank you, fuzz.” — Adam Wintele, Magna

“There is not enough training, especially for mental issues. … No-knock warrants should not be a thing. … Most (officers) are good, but the bad ones, well, like with anything else, thy ruin it for the rest. But yeah, they are not all good and not all bad.” — Julia Wintele, Magna

“Yes, there is. But still, they do a very good job. They do good helping people, but they are so stressed and so short-handed that it makes it difficult. It makes them difficult in the way that they cannot spend time with people. … I am so proud of our Ogden Police Department. … I have seen things that people should not see. … And to come home and see people hurting other people hurts. … Wars, it is the little man who gets hurt. Wars are caused by big people who try to over-control, and they have very little regard for the little people. … God bless America.” — Robert Barnes, Ogden

“I feel like there is. … They do not really know about fixing it. … I know for a fact that they do not follow the rules. I feel like they do not care. … I suggest that they hire people that want to help.” — Kira Risher, Ogden

“Yes. … There needs to be more community action and involvement. … There is always room for improvement, no matter what you do.” — Christina Katusin, Ogden
