Letter: Why a free ride for the police captain?

Regarding the Police captain’s use of a police car to commute at the taxpayers expense. There must be better ways of utilization of the vehicle and the expense of operating it.  As far as the suggestion of charging 5 cents a mile, that would not come close to the operating cost. The IRS allows 55.5 cents for business use and 23.5 cents to obtain medical service.

Why should the captain get a free ride?
