If you need to e-mail something, you will have to call for an e-mail address. If you e-mail the Webmaster for non website related matters, it is certain your e-mail will be deleted and you will not receive a response. - Why are the incidents on the Police Blotter page filtered?
The entries are filtered to exclude incidents that are sensitive in nature. Examples are: Deaths, Narcotics Investigations, Sexual Assaults, etc.
