Isthmus on crime in Madison
Posted by CometStarMoon on June 21, 2007
Isthmus’ The Daily Page seems to have stepped up their coverage of crime in Madison in recent weeks. The website has already established itself as one of the leading websites for information and coverage of Madison’s Halloween. Shortly after we posted our write up on lewd and lascivious behavior in Madison Isthmus reporter Kristian Knutsen posted a article including an interview with Madison Police Department Public Information Officer Joel DeSpain explaining why we are seeing so many more releases concerning lewd behavior (a correction was made to this post at 1:02 p.m. at the request of Knutsen).
“It was brought up at a detective briefing that there’s been a lot of lewd and lascivious conduct in the last few weeks,” says DeSpain, who joins a daily teleconference of detectives from all five of the MPD’s districts, where they discuss events around the city and look for common trends. “When I’m in these detective briefings, I’m trying to listen to what they’re saying and pick up on these trends.”
The next day Knutsen followed up with a profile of Madison’s new Public Information Officer who was previously a reporter with Channel 3.
Wisconsin State Journal Columnist Melanie Conklin also recently sat down with DeSpain over Guinness.
