There has been a distinct change in the reporting on the crime blotter. Is someone new handling this beat? Was there an editorial decision?
Hi Daniel: Mountlake Terrace PD recently shifted to electronically supplying police report summaries, which is a practice that has been in place for several years for the media in Lynnwood and Edmonds. The reports are shorter, but we are able to follow up on anything as necessary. Prior to this change, we had to physically visit the police department and look through dozens of individual case reports — a very time-consuming process. — Teresa Wippel
Thank you for clarifying.
