Positive Examples in Law Enforcement
Seems like a weekly blotter should be available once a week?
US Border Patrol, Port Angeles, WA-
Aug 2010-
A US Border Patrol spokesperson tells the press:
Sort of like a news blackout on local Border Patrol arrests?
Sounds like something out of the Soviet Union.
A free and independent press plays no role here in questioning public policy- simply passing down dictates from above.
So, if this guy is arrested it might be done in secret if the one page report is already full, the arrest is not selected by the agency for public release or is an apprehension that results in an ongoing investigation?
Is the US Border Patrol the only law enforcement agency making use of these bizarre and arbitrary reporting procedures?
