Well, Several days after the Monday Night Football media promotion a former Philadelphia news anchor who "covered" this story. As you can see big media is all about ratings. While they get tax breaks, conservitive voters by there votes support this kind of shamless promotion. I love the anchor sayi

Hi, More bad news for a hard hit block. Someone broke into a locked car owned by a contractor working on the 4600 block of Hazel yesterday. They broke the back window and stole a bucket of tools. The contractor reported the theft to the police. No one seems to have witnessed the crime. Someone

Hold on just a second -- I don't like to see Kyle's good name dragged through the mud with a suggestion that he might make misrepresentatins to 911 to improve response time! My post merely notes that there is a cause and effect relationship between reporting one's belief that an assailant has a gu

I would be more thoughtful about lying to the cops when calling 911 in order to increase response time. First of all, it really is more urgent for them to respond to some calls than others, and lying confuses the priorities and results in slower response times for the more urgent calls. So

If you're talking about the $35 alarm license fee, I'm sure you know that is not to pay for the cost of answering your alarm. I think its to provide information on who you are so that they have a responsible party to collect a fine from when you create too many false alarms. I hope that

Jonathan - Didn't think of reporting that he had a gun. The first call, I simply said he was attempting to break into my house. The second call was, "Mission accomplished. Now come catch him." I'm on 45th Street. When they release the guy this December, I'll send him over to the 4600 block

Well, I really didn't think that a 15 minute response time is considered great to begin with. If it was a break in and you were home, it could have been a bad situation. (it's a little far-fetched, but it could happen) My alarm company usually calls within 30 seconds -2 minutes of my loud alarm
