On December 22, 2008 between 8:30am and 2:30pm there was a Home Burglary in the area of Walser and Kinloch. The burglars entered the home through the rear door, taking several items plus jewelry. Later in the evening the victim called me and gave me information about a suspicious van her daughter has seen in the neighborhood recently.
If anyone in our city sees any cars, vans, trucks, etc. and/or any people that they observe acting in a suspicious manner please call our Police Chief and give him the description of the vehicle, including license plate if possible, and any description of any suspicious individuals. If you cannot get in touch with Chief Carter call anyone of our Block Watch Captains and give them the information. Of course if you see or observe a crime being committed call the Police right away.
If anyone reads the newspaper our Metro. Police Department is approximately 100 Officers understaffed. This number does not count the number of Officers that are put on administrative leave if they are involved in the death of a Criminal Suspect. In just the last week Nine (9) Police Officers were put on paid leave. In short the entire Metro area is short over 100 Officers that we know of and that does not count the Officers on paid leave that never gets in the Courier Journal.
In short everyone please try to be observant of what is going on in our City, especially during the holidays where traditionally Robberies and Home Burglaries are up.
