Man Sleeps On Porch On Monticello, Reckless Driver @ George/Springfield

Good morning, everyone, it's 6:25am. I'm monitoring 25 from now until 10:49am, then I'm going to take a very short break until 11, at which time I'll return with 25 until 4:50pm. At 4:50, until 10, I'll be monitoring Zones K and R (basically most of 25), and then from 10 to midnight, I'll be covering all of 25 again. Tomorrow, I am letting all of you guys deciding what I monitor. Please let me know by 5am tomorrow morning what you want to see monitor, and whichever District/area gets a majority vote, I will cover that area. I will be covering Zone L on Friday. For those of you who aren't on the Facebook fan page, I have decided that I am not going to be implementing a new round of "Zones" after this readership poll closes. I am going back to monitoring entire Districts. It was a fun and good experiment while it lasted, but it did not work the way I expected it to. Furthermore, and I'm sure this is going to be a disappointment to all of my 14th District readers, but I will no longer be monitoring 14 on a regular basis. For the rest of the summer, I will cover it three times a month. My coverage of 17 and 25 is going to increase. 25 will be monitored on a regular basis, with 17 being monitored once every week (if not, I will be covering it four times a month). I had a lot of feedback from the people on the Facebook page, which I really appreciated by the way, and there is a big demand for me to monitor 25 and 17 once again on a regular basis. I have realized that I cannot please everyone, and I am no longer going to make that effort. As long as a majority is pleased, that's all that matters to me. With that, here's crime for today.

7:19am - Disturbance. 30XX N Monticello. Male sleeping on the caller's porch, caller doesn't know who he is.

9:52am to 10:34am - Zone 12 had to switch cover to Citywide 6 due to an open radio and I was not here to switch the radio. I'm sorry, guys.

7:31pm - 1) Holding the offender. 29XX N Ridgeway. A man's being held in the alley. 2) Battery in progress. 36XX W Oakdale. Few calls for two males beating up on one; most likely to the Ridgeway call.

I live steps away from Kelvyn Park H.S. so coverage around this area would be greatly appreciated.

Timmy, this is your blog so you are the boss. You've done a great job and will only get better.

Good luck with your new job!

Anyone who buys or rents a home near a High school or any type of school is a fool. What did you expect when you moved in?
