Today’s Good News
First Precinct Officer Daniel Burgess recently responded to a downtown business that had just been robbed, but thanks to his good eyes and K-9 Sumo’s good nose, the robber didn’t get far. As K-9 Officer Rob Gregory and K-9 Sumo began their search of the area, K-9 Sumo picked up a scent and Officer Burgess noticed a white picket fence that had been pushed open. He knows the fence is usually secure so he carefully approached the yard and that’s where he spotted the robber changing into women’s clothing in an attempt to disguise his identity. He was quickly arrested and gave a full confession. Officer Burgess’s excellent knowledge of his sector and good investigative skills combined with our dynamic K-9 team removed a dangerous offender from the streets. Good work!
