...after breaking the four minute mile ... judges conferred over the possibility of a substance abuse violation until one trainer admitted, "we actually took Tracy's 'Smart Bus'."
Transient men panhandling, now that is suspicious!
KFC leave the back door open again?
This woman is definitely stuck up!
You can't learn that at some seminar talking about what a great job you did during a child abduction case.
In and of itself, is that a bad thing?
Just watch where you're pointing that thing.
Take it to stockton.
Her agency is logging less statistics because people quit calling the cops, because they don't do anything.

Great Job TPD "Street Officers"!!!
I'm really amazed at what a great job the Street Officers do with a police chief who is absent most of the time.
She, and Sgt. Shennamen, spend a lot of time traveling around the country lecturing about what a great job "She" did during the Sandra Cantu case. In fact they're gone so much that the department is in chaos. Multiple officers off on paid leave, (Cogburn, etc...) and she continues to tell people what a great chief she is...
Just like the city manager who tells all the other city managers what a great guy he is, but doesn't take care of business "at home."
From what I can see the old saying is true. "Those that can do and those that can't travel around and lecture!"
