Our communications bureau is receiving numerous calls to 9-1-1, complaining about the late hour of the Amber Alert. As a direct result of someone receiving the alert, we were able to locate the suspect & his vehicle. The system works. Thank you to all those that called with tips.

Gosh. Maybe installing a Crime Family in the White House wasn't such a good idea? If only we'd been warned. washingtonjournal.com/2017/07/10/kus…
