Good day! Today is an exciting day in the development of our blog. I have started contributing to The Crime Report, an outstanding media / police site whose work is much like ours. They have many outstanding writers and thinkers on police and the media.
As you know, my mission has always been open, honest conversation. Humbly, I do get invitations to write for other sites once in a while. I have previously turned them all down, because they seemed biased in one way or the other (to include too “pro police”)
The Crime Report allows me (and many others) to have unfiltered and honest conversations about policing. It really was that simple a decision for me. Of course I will remain here as well!
If you get a moment, check out their content and let me know what you think…

Congrats!! I too am blogging over there and am honored to be in such good company. Like you, I agreed to blog there based on the great content. I’ve found James Gunter to be a good editor, too.
I did hesitate because I want Cops 2.0 to be “vendor neutral,” but 1) we have no affiliate arrangement and 2) ultimately the bigger picture for me is whether vendors seek to build communities with their customers. James is doing a hell of a job with that and I do stand behind his efforts.
Again congrats, can’t wait to see what you blog there!

I looked around a bit on The Crime Report, interesting site. I skimmed just a few of the articles but I’ll be going back to read them again. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. Good luck to you on the blog as well.
