Crime Beat: Not Just The Facts, Ma'am

The Mission District Police Station Newsletter came back online after a long hiatus / technical glitch (...we have finally fixed our months-long computer problem, which prevented us from transmitting the newsletter to most of you).

The wait has been worth it. A sample of the prose you'll see every week:

On the many posts about prostitution (née faux amour): ...a soiled dove ...a wannabe paramour...

On assault and robbery: ...a truculent thug ...a surly scoundrel ...remorseless reprobates...

On vagrancy and warrant arrests: ...a sinister subject skulking sinisterly ...an aggressive and obnoxious beggar ...a glib and cunning prevaricator...

On questionable gender: ...arrested an alleged man for verbally and physically abusing his girlfriend...

On contraband and drugs: ...the pernicious poison they were peddling...

Frustrated English major or aspiring novelist? Either way, it's an entertaining way to get your crime news for parts of Noe and the Mission. If you'd like to subscribe here's how.
