Greetings Chief Allender, I just wanted to comment on your blog and say that I have really enjoyed reading your posts. In this day and age of social media it is great to see police forces joining in with the masses to have a voice where in the past we have remained silent. I am 5 year Constable with the Saskatoon Police Service, in Saskatoon Saskatchewan. I am in my 3rd year walking our Central beat, and as well I am the first officer to be able to tell there story in our newly launched blog http://copsandbloggers.ca/category/from-the-ground-up/. My stories are told from the unique perspective of a beat officer as I walk the downtown and core areas of our city. As our blog is still in its infantry it would be great to touch base with you to get your opinion on what has worked and what has not.
Thanks for you time Chief.
all the best
