   Too many cops in Boulder City. They are a huge financial burden and have little to do, therefore they spend an inordinate time focusing of traffic issues.

   I'm working on a story about the Boulder City police traffic enforcement, based on an unusual experience I had there recently. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has had a first-hand experience they'd like to share. I can be reached at marshall.allen@lasvegassun.com, or at 259-2330.

   He will probably be recruited by Metro.

   Ohhhhhh, for the good ol days. I remember back when there were only two Rangers assigned to the B.C. cop shop. Rudy LaCroy (sp) and I think, one other. We use to play bait the cop and keep them both busy for most of an evening. When I got home from `nam we were up at the Tavern one night when a fight broke out and Ray White (New guy)came to break it up. He left his squad running in the street outside the bar while he was inside chilling the activities. Someone took the keys out of his squad and threw them behind the safe in the bar. Poor ol Ray had to call Chief Smith (Horace G.)and have him bring down an extra set of keys so he could leave. Then there was Howard Tindell, good ol Howie, constantly busting us for not wearing goggles when we rode our cycles.
   Had him for an instructor for Traffic Survival School in Henderson. We'd have him close to tears every night by the time the class would end. No sense of humor, that guy. There were some really cool B.C. cops back then. I wish I could remember some of the other's names. There was a Larry ?? who was just waaaaaay cool. He protected us kids from our brutal parents. Bob "Boozer" Barret was another great officer. He and Larry would take our car keys away from us and take us to the Polka Dot Haven and drop us off. Tell us we could pick up our keys the next day at the cop shop. Howard was far and above the best Chief of Police the town ever had. He was fair while remainig quite feersome. B.C. was fun back then and there was very little trouble with anyone, except me in later years. I left before they became really, really tired of me, heh, heh. Times have changed, I'm sure. Now they need the traffic ticket revenue to put those danged cement barriers in the middle of the street downtown.

   Funny-I've been through there a few times and don't think I've ever seen a cop.

   Now the 24/7 Searchlight speed trap is another story. They ought to just name the place "The Gauntlet".

   I thought B.C. had only one police officer, a Barney Fife, and one town drunk -PETEO.
