New Guidelines for #JPDIncidentSpotlight - R.I.P. It is DEAD.

(64804/64801) -- In a post from the Fraternal Order of Police Southwest Missouri Regional Lodge #27 Joplin News First have been given permission to re-post the email to Joplin City Employees.
In the image you will see the actual 'pollyanna' words and 'new guidelines' that will now prevent the Joplin Police Department from continuing the #JPDIncidentSpotlight.
Actual email sent to Joplin City Employees obtained from #SWMOFOP
The Fraternal Order of Police Southwest Missouri Regional Lodge #27 is part of the national Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) consisting of sworn law enforcement officers in the US.

"The organization attempts to improve the working conditions of law enforcement officers and the safety of those they serve through education, legislation, information, community involvement, and employee representation." - #FOP

Is it true?
Is it helpful?
Is it inspiring?
Is it necessary?
Is it kind?
If you can't answer with a definitive yes to any or all of these questions, please consider whether you truly need to publish that post.  There's enough [sic] cyberbullying and negativity online without us adding to it, intentionally or unintentionally. 
If you have any questions, let me know.
Thanks for your time,

LIVE! PD TV Show is NOTHING Like #JPDIncidentSpotlight - Don't Try to Compare the Two

LIVE! PD TV Show is NOTHING Like #JPDIncidentSpotlight 
- Don't Try to Compare the Two
(64804/64801) -- In Joplin this is not a tv show we are talking about. #JPDIncidentspotlight is a vague social media post that has been squashed by City Manager, Sam Anselm. This has all come to light since a Sunshine Law request from KOAM TV 7.
In that communication he asked that the JPD stop doing their daily or as-needed #jpdincidentspotlight because it made the city seem like it had a problem with crime. They were quietly stopped December 28, 2017.
Joplin News First friend, Steve, shared this Tulsa story with our staff. Although it's interesting to note that it's a fine legal line to walk when you are doing a LIVE! broadcast with a 5 minute delay. As one reader said today "innocent until proven guilty". Um not many names here that a judge hasn't already put a warrant out with their name on it.
#JPDIncidentSpotlight was a 'vague, nameless, statement that doesn't include names unless there are warrants or dangerous actions which a person would be named'. They helped to inform the public what was happening where we live.
Please note that the only person named below is someone wanted for a 'buttload of crap' as Nacho Libre would say.
SOME EXAMPLES OF THE FORMER #jpdincidentspotlights:
###
On November 7th at 8:14am one of our officers stopped two males for walking in the middle of the road at 10th and Jackson. One of them, a 31 year old male, was found to have a domestic assault warrant from the city. Once arrested, it was discovered he had a light bulb in his coat pocket that had been transformed for smoking meth. It had burnt meth residue in it. He also had a baggie of meth. Felony Drug charges submitted.
###
On 10-31-2017 during the course of the evening several officers and detectives worked together to insure that 114 sex offenders in the city limits of Joplin were compliant with the Halloween law pertaining to them. Officers generated 31 reports of possible violations for further investigation and made 3 arrests.
###
This morning Oct 19 at about 430am Officers were dispatched to the 700 block of West 1st. The resident reported hearing glass breaking to the south and then saw three people leaving the area on bikes. Officers were able to get into the area quickly and located all three people. It was discovered that forced entry had been made at 102 and 108 S. Sergeant. The owner of the properties was contacted. The owner described some of the items she found missing and the items were located on the three people that officers contacted. They were also in possession of a stolen bicycle that had been stolen from the residence at an earlier date. These subjects are also suspects in the bicycle theft at North Middle School yesterday. That investigation is on-going.
###
On 9-23-17 at 2:39am our officers responded to a suspicious vehicle call at 605 West 25th. Caller said a white pickup truck kept driving back and forth in the apartment complex. Officer located the pickup occupied several times. They arrested the driver, James E Colley, 34, Joplin for a Jasper County Robbery warrant with $500,000 cash bond and a probation and parole warrant with no bond. He was also found to be in possession of approximately 129 grams of meth, other people's identifications and a counterfeit $100 bill. Those new charges resulted in an additional $10,000 cash bond over the weekend. Thank you to the alert citizen for reporting suspicious activity.

Joplin City Hall ENDS JPD Updates - #JPDIncidentSpotlight Obituary - Sign the Petition

(64804/64801) -- In records obtained by our friends at KOAM-TV 7 the Joplin City Hall has asked the Joplin Police Department to end the posts #JPDIncidentSpotlight.  Which was a hashtag story that posted as-needed the update of what was happening in Joplin.

Many Joplin area people are upset and there is a petition being signed now.

#JPDIncidentSpotlight - SIGN THE PETITION

Good luck folks!  If it works let's all sign a petition for eliminating JOPLIN ODOR ISSUES?  Until then?  Let's go to the Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce Biz Expo in OKLAHOMA!!!!


#JPDIncidentSpotlight Obituary
We remember when you were born at the fingertips of a tweet by Chief Matt Stewart.  At times you were snarky.  You showed no shame in blasting names and addresses and charges of felons.

You were just 132 days old but you grew so quickly.  Some called you 'clickbait' but what were people clicking on?  A chance for police to build a relationship with a new generation of Joplinites.

You told me about a naked man on the corner of 4th and Main - Joplin News First drove by that cold night and realized George Costanza had something in common with that man.

You told me about murders, people on the run, fleeing suspects and informed my family to keep us more safe and secure.  But who wants safe and secure!?!?!

But now you are gone I can wear my rose colored glasses. Joplin crime is gone.  Joplin meth is gone.  The opiate epidemic and problem is gone.  Babies don't die at the hands of mommy's boyfriends.  And Michigan Place Apartments is a gated and wonderful condo community!  #jpdincidentspotlight #joplinpd #joplinnewsfirst
