write a letter to the commissioner of police in your state complaining about the increasing rate of armed robbery

Dear Sir or Madam,

I have been a resident of [YOUR STATE] for [BLANK] years and have never seen so much criminality–especially armed robberies! The rates are increasing all over the country, but you must put [YOUR STATE'S] citizens first and address this rising issue.

I hope you will take these concerns into consideration.

Sincerely,

[YOUR NAME]
