Police log-is less more?

The police log lists much information about calls to which the Brandon Police Department responds. Entries are listed by date and include the location of the call, the type of call and the result. The names and ages of people who are arrested are listed.
Does the police log give you as much information as you want? Could the log list the time of the call? It might make a difference to some people if a suspicious person was lurking on their block at 3 p.m. or 3 a.m. How about listing the town where arrested people are from. It might be nice to know if some drug dealer is an out-of-towner or a neighbor.
Do you read the police log? If so, how often? Do you read it in the Brandon Valley Challenger, or online at www.brandinfo.com? Would you like to see any changes made to the police log?

I read the police logs on-line almost daily. It is good to be informed of the happenings around. It could include the time of the call as I imagine most of us would be surprised to learn what times the crimes happen.
Maybe the fire calls could be added???…..

I don’t read the log every day, but I read every day’s log eventually. I’ve seen the police in an area never mentioned in the log. I think all the calls should be in the online version. It’s not like it’s taking up space in the paper. The more info the better.

I worked with Dave Kull for many years and rest assured, his departments activities will be transparent. He is a great Police officer and his leadership will benefit Brandon. If you have any concern, please call Dave–he will definitely talk to you—and he will listen.

I forgot to mention that if invited to talk police business at a local business–he’ll even pay for the coffee.
