Paramedics responded …

Jail Inmates Give Back

Late last week, nearly one dozen Illinois inmates ventured outside their jail cells in order to give back to the community.  The Chicago suburbs have long dealt with burned down and abandoned homes, and in the upcoming weeks, Cook County detainees are helping to tear five of these eye-sores down.

Members of the sheriff's department are hoping to demo up to 100 area properties within the next 12 months through a new program that allows certain inmates to assist with these types of projects.  In order to be eligible, they must have been sentenced into the boot camp program.

LAPD Wants To Take Guns From Persons Arrested For Domestic Violence

Members of the Los Angeles Police Department have confirmed they're rolling out a new gun policy when it comes to domestic violence offenders.  Namely, the City Attorney's office will be notified every time a person who is a suspect in this type of case has a registered firearm.

But it doesn't stop there.

The City Attorney said he will start to prosecute domestic suspects, or anyone who has an active restraining order, when they try to buy a gun.

Victim advocates say this type of action is long overdue- especially when you consider that nine women die in this country every week …

Jealous Walmart Employee Opens Fire On Vehicle Of Employee Of The Month

Tensions at a Florida Walmart were flying high earlier this month, prompting one jealous employee to open fire at a coworkers car.

Why?  Because he was jealous she won employee-of-the-month.

Willie Mitchell started harassing Sonia Diogene shortly after she received the honor.  He felt the only reason she'd done so well was because he frequently helped her do her job, she said, and that he's the one who deserved recognition.

The woman said things got so heated she eventually felt the need to approach a supervisor.  Mitchell kept making threatening remarks, she said, and insisted he "would show her".

Quite a few people …

    United Way’s Donations Policy Backfires During The Giving Time Of Year

United Way’s Donations Policy Backfires During The Giving Time Of Year

The holiday season is typically a giving time of year, but a flawed United Way donations policy that re-routed funds that should have been earmarked for the OC Sheriff's Department Advisory Council into their general pool has caused a massive uproar.

The Sheriff's Department Advisory Council provides funds for causes that aren't supported by the OCSD budget; families of officers who have been injured or killed in the line of duty are the most frequent beneficiaries.

Until recently, more than 1,000 members of the department had set up auto-deductions from their paychecks.  In theory, the monies should have gone to support …

LASD, LAPD K-9s More Likely To Bite Than Long Beach Police Dogs

Recent statistics indicate that Long Beach Police Department dogs have a bite ration that is nearly three times less than their Los Angeles counterparts.

In 2012 the LASD has a bite ratio of about 30 percent, according to recent numbers, while the LAPD's bite ration is about 20.5 percent.  When you contrast that with the 6 percent seen within the …
