*******We will be going through some changes and re-structuring here at APD at the end of this month.  I will be promoting to Lt. and a new person will be taking over the crime report in the mornings.  With this being said, we need to know who uses the audio portion of this report.  If it is not being used, we don’t want to “waste” time continuing to do it; however, if it is being used it is definitely not a “waste” of time.  Please reply back to me if you use the audio portion of this message for any reason (craig.jordan@abilenetx.com).  Thanks for your time and continued support of your police department!
