Everyone loves funny cops, seriously

The Ogden Police have a facebook page which is being a lot more fun to read than the proposed blimp is to make fun of.

For example, today I found the following posted. It’s brief, snappy, and fun. Barbara Beinstein, down at the bottom, is an old friend of mine and spent a lot of time in the old press room in the basement of the old City/County building, so she knows a funny police report when she sees one.

Ogden Police During a traffic stop this week the CRU found 117 Balloons of Heroin ($2,340.00), Over $200.00 in Cash, and a Cardboard Sign. Being the helpers that we are, we found the car’s occupants a warm and secure place to stay with a bed and three meals a day.

- Barbara Bernstein Ha ha. That’s a good one. I miss the good old police sense of humor from police reports in the ’70s and ’80s. Now thanks to Facebook everybody gets to enjoy the quirky point of view of the lawmen and lawwomen. Keep ‘em coming. Thanks also for the serious postings.

here’s another entry that reeks of snark: The CRU took it’s first illegally possessed gun of the year off the streets this week during a traffic stop. The suspect is a drug addict that told us he only uses drugs on special occassions. ie: his birthday (the previous day), holidays, …..days ending in the letter “y”……..

Good Point Chuck, however;

Let those with ears, hear.
A Word to the Wise.
Don’t ask “Y”, you may get campus security.
