Back-2-School For Year-Round CPS Schools: Day #2

Good morning, everyone, it's 7:58am. It's a sunny morning with temps in the lower 60s, and today will be around 80 with sunshine. Monitoring 25 today, until 5pm. After today, I'm going on blog vacation, although I will have a post up tomorrow and Thursday from two CAPS Beat meetings that occurred a month ago. But I need time away from the radio before I start my college classes on Monday. I will return blogging when I get home from my classes on Monday evening. If anyone has a scanner, or would like to listen to RadioReference, please feel free to cover crime in the area. Just send me an email with whatever you have and I'll give you credit for listening. With that, here's crime for this morning and afternoon.

8:15am - 1) Traffic accident. Wrightwood and Springfield. Hit-and-run. 2) Burglar alarm. 36XX W Palmer.

8:19am - Beat car 2524 doesn't see anything at Wrightwood/Springfield. There's no call back, so it'll be a code.

9:40am - 2525 has a handwaver at Central Park and Altgeld regarding an attempted theft.

The majority of the shooting just happened on the 2100 and 2200 blocks of N Kenneth, and by Hermosa Park. MLDs played a role. Just letting everyone know who lives on 2524's Beat right near the Kelvyn Park area know in case something goes down later.

5:00pm - I'm going to go. I'll be back on Monday, but I'll have two Beat meeting posts up tomorrow and Thursday, respectively. Please do let me know if any major incidents occur in the area, though. Going on my blog vacation beginning now. I hope everyone has a great week and stays safe!

Back-2-School For Year-Round CPS Schools

Good morning, everyone, it's 7:44am. If you don't already know, today is the first day back to school for the year-round CPS Schools. We all know what that means. Kids off the street for the most part, doing school work and being with their friends, and in the case of the bad ones, acting a fool and causing trouble. Hopefully this school year will be better than most, and maybe it will, as the kids go longer now. Elementary schools go 7 hours and high schools go 7.5 hours. I'll be monitoring the schools tomorrow and Wednesday as well. Today, I'm monitoring 14 and 25, with 14 being a priority, as quite a few schools in 14 go back today, and we've had problems before with a couple of these schools, so I'm listening carefully today.
