Overland Park crime reports in this blog
From the Johnson County sheriff's office:
E-mail just now from local programmer Brett Rickman, who has been mapping crime data I've posted here on his Website, www.rickman.com:
Brett has been using Google Earth to make maps with a dot over each crime address location. He's plotted Overland Park as well as Kansas City offenses.
Now he's mapped 1,200-plus homicide addresses from my recent post, 11 years of Kansas City homicide. On his site, scroll down to the bottom of the list of maps and you'll find a detailed map of homicides for each year, 1995-2005.

From police reporter Christine Vendel in The Star this morning:
Shooting by police puzzles man's family
Relatives of a man wounded by police Tuesday night said Thursday that they wanted questions answered.
An officer shot Anthony N. Cherco, 20, of Kansas City in the abdomen about 11 p.m. Tuesday. Cherco, who won two professional boxing matches as a super featherweight in 2004, was in serious condition Thursday, relatives said.
Cherco’s uncle, Mike Moreno, said relatives had not been allowed to visit Cherco. Police said he was under guard at the hospital.
Two officers said they stopped Cherco’s car in the 500 block of Spruce Avenue after he tried to pick up a prostitute.
Moreno said his nephew “was no angel” but doubted that he approached a prostitute, and wondered why two officers could not arrest Cherco without shooting him.
Police spokesman Capt. Rich Lockhart said the two officers fought Cherco for 90 seconds. The fight occurred on sloped ground, which made it hard for officers to get their footing, he said. The officer who fired his gun said he nearly lost consciousness after Cherco tackled and choked him.
“They tried to bring this to a peaceful conclusion, but they could not,” Lockhart said.

Leawood police were showing a new officer yesterday how to enter data in the department's computer system.
Naturally, the "test" data showed up in the report sent to media this morning:

numbers, said Major John Meier.
This is somewhat like the Boston Globe editor in 1980 who, over an editorial about President Carter, jokingly put the headline "Mush from the wimp." It got published, of course.
This Star story is about dodgeball, but it's not funny like the movie (right):
