MikeK: Cops, Media Worked Story Well

Councilman MikeK: I had the opportunity to see the detectives in the CdA Police Department last night at around 8:00 pm. They had been there since 2 am working at breakneck pace on this capital murder case. They were amazingly composed despite the fact that you could tell they were exhausted. Sgt. Christie Wood was there and shared with me that she had awakened television reporters in the early morning hours to get their assistance in letting the public know when the alleged perp was still at large. Print reporters were on the job and updating website information as events broke, and definitely HBO had all the details and updates and was truly helping break the story. The mistake on Rancho Viejo vs. Toro Viejo was just that, an honest mistake, and it was corrected fast.

DFO: Don't you wished every police agency was as quick and responsive as CPD Blue when news is breaking. We're pretty fortunate to have a sheriff and police chiefs in this county who know the importance of getting the news to the public. May their kind increase.
