Park Forest, IL–(ENEWSPF)–Editor’s Note: Please note that we suffered a fatal program error while at the PFPD last week. While using Dragon Naturally Speaking 10.5 to read police reports, and after spending 2.0+ hours doing so, Dragon suffered a fatal error, and everything we did was lost.

Yoi!

We returned to the PFPD today to find that we only had the reports available below. No reports between 5-2-12 and 5-9-12 were available. This is not uncommon when reports have been filed. There is, in effect, a window of opportunity to read reports.

All of that having been said, we will return to the PFPD this week diligently to report on recent police reports.

Please note: an arrest does not mean that a person is guilty. All those arrested are presumed innocent until proven guilty. It is the policy of eNews Park Forest to not remove items in the public record from publication. If your name is listed in the police reports, we will only add information relevant to the final disposition of the case at hand, e.g. "Mr. Smith was subsequently acquitted," "Mr. Smith entered a guilty plea," or "All charges against Mr. Smith were subsequently dropped." We will do so upon receiving and verifying proof of such disposition.

Persons wishing to leave anonymous information on any criminal matters including narcotics or gang activity are encouraged to call 708-748-1309 and leave a message on Detective Beilke’s voice mail.
