Last week Tom Gentry did a story called Performance makes a difference. When I was reading the story I was not surprised to hear that one of Independence Police Department's newest member of the Investigations Division, Detective Chris Arnold. Thanks to his passion in his heart to be a good detective he and Detective Mike Johann gathered enough probable cause to not only arrest several suspects but solve seven known burglary cases. To add to that it's believed their efforts will help in solving many more burglaries in the metro and will lead to the arrest of more suspects.

The City of Independence had Popsicles in the Rotary Park last night. What a fun time for all the little ones. Today we see Graffiti all over the pump house. Today one of my neighbors by my shop tells me the kids are throwing fire works under cars that drive by. I asked them if they called 911 they told me no because the police will not do anything. We know bottle rockets are all over my parking lot and yes this is normal because people have been brained washed into thinking they can't do anything about it. It has been a great adventure living and working in Independence.

Great news for the Independence Police Department or is it??? Toriano L. Porter's story Tuesday June 30th Cities benefit from AT&T settement. WOW what great news for our police department. The City of Independence if they approve the settlement will get their check in December. Now the city manager and the city council don't need the sales tax. That was great news for our police department or was it??? $2.4 million that should be prayers answered for our police department!!!  

Hello Bloggers and new friends,

This shooting was a little close, as in a few blocks away from my house. To be honest, we don't see the police over here that often. This is especially true on the weekend nights While relatively quiet, we've had some problems.

A few months ago, someone had their car window shattered by a car driving by. They threw something intentionally because they got the hell out quick. Not to mention the people who drive like idiots down Noland and 23rd.
