!!! Kudos For Dormont Police !!!
Everytime you turn around
They're catching somebody in the act
And that's because they do their job
And that is a well-known-fact
I've lived there for many years
And I've always felt safe with them
And it didn't matter the place or street
Or who,what,where,or when!
They had always captured their man
And there was no two ways about it
And I mean that with all of my heart
And if you want me to,I'll shout it!
Thank You Dormont Police
For years of excellent service
For with you always watching the town
"Nobody has to be nervous"
