Editor’s Note Sept. 13, 2016 / After this story was posted, we received inquiries regarding the vague reference to location. Commander Jason Arres replied to reader inquiries regarding why specific locations are not listed in news releases.
“In reference to residential areas, we are not going to disclose a personal residence where an incident has occurred, unless there is some type of threat/issue where we need to warn our residents and the public to avoid that specific location,” Arres said.
“It is a similar issue in relation to businesses. Again, we are trying to strike that balance between keeping everyone informed but also protecting the business. We have heard from businesses in the past who are concerned with their name being associated with a crime happening at their location, out of fear of that affecting their business. Obviously, if we feel the public is at risk or needs critical information relating to an incident at a location, we will absolutely put that information out.”
