Jan. 16 – Jan. 17, 2014

Today’s Good News
Kudos to Officer Jerry Scott who was named Fourth Precinct’s Officer of the Month for December! Thanks to Officer Scott’s speedy response to an in-progress burglary call last month on Seminary Avenue, the offender was quickly arrested. Two officers were following the burglar’s trail out of the home when they spotted Officer Scott detaining the man just 80 feet from the residence. The victim identified the burglar and after further investigation, they found a firearm and drugs on his person and charged him with multiple narcotics offenses, illegal firearm possession, burglary and another outstanding warrant.

Because of his experience in truancy matters, Officer Scott was also asked to conduct at least one truancy sweep per week last month, and thanks to his efforts, he was able to stop and speak with at least 20 students in reference to such issues. On at least two occasions the sweeps produced people that were wanted in other jurisdictions. Thank you and congratulations Officer Jerry Scott!
