The Telegram and Gazette has run an excellent series of articles about public access to police logs, including a helpful video narrative and details about how area police departments responded to requests.
Holden did well. My regular Crime in Suburbia series, by way of The Landmark's police report, depends on the good work of our local police departments.
The response by the local state police was discouraging. The paper noted that Lt. Col. Tim Alben, commander of the agency's Division of Field Services, has followed up with a directive to troopers in his command, reminding them of the very clear state laws regarding police logs.
These stories are a part of the paper's participation in Sunshine Week.
Kudos to Thomas Caywood, Gerard F. Russell, Noah R. Bombard and Scott J. Croteau.
Disclaimer: I write a blog on Telegram Towns and have written stories for the Telegram, but had no involvement in these stories.
