Police Seek Crime Reports From Aldermen to Close Gaps
Police Chief Edward Williams aims to fix missing crime records by prompting aldermen to report arrests not processed through the police. The move targets unbooked arrests and strengthens the flow of criminal data to police, county, FBI, and armed services. A recent incident involved an arrest for fraudulent conversion handled by an alderman without police booking, highlighting the system gap. Also reported, a thief stole three men's suits and three women's gowns from a station wagon, valued at 99 dollars, with burial clothes noted as hard to sell.
