May 7 – May 8, 2012


Today’s Good News
Kudos to Officer Kevin Knudsen who was named Second Precinct’s Officer of the Month for April! Officer Knudsen’s favorite way to meet the citizens of Sector 211 is on a bicycle. He volunteers to ride bike patrol every chance he gets. Citizens would yell “hello” to him as he rode by and he would stop and chat with them. His bike patrols have made Officer Knudsen well known and trusted among many individuals who live there. This trust has led to him receiving valuable information on individuals who may be involved in criminal activity in the area. Officer Knudsen feels he is doing his best service for the community by addressing offenders where they live and reducing crime in the community by removing the criminals. Thank you Officer Knudsen!
