Snidely Whiplash. I agree with you and applaud your comment
There is a small town online newspaper just to the south of Tallahassee named The Wakulla News which you can google up online.
Anyway they publish a weekly synopsis of their Sheriff’s calls for service. It is very popular and keeps the citizens “Crime Aware”.
Now we know the sinking ship AKA The Tallahassee Fake-News-O-Crat wont publish any such thing as the The Wakulla News publishes because the Tally/Leon leaders want to keep crime on the Down-Low as much as possable. Ya know out of sight out of mind.
Quite likely a young up-start news service in Leon County would get more readership if they provided a similar service for Tally/Leon Citizens.
In Wakulla once you read their version of their Wakulla County Sheriff’s Office Report you come back to read the next version again and again. Just saying.
Might even get the Police Department involved with such a thing too. Sure there will be local Leon County resistance … but it is likely a simple public records request to obtain a week’s worth of service calls.
