Waco Police Association launches new Web site
The Waco Police Association has recently launched a new Web site.
“We invite Wacoans and others to spend time on our site and get to know us better,” said WPA President Anne Cyr in an e-mail announcing the site. “It’s important to us that the community know more about the officers who work tirelessly to protect our city. We intend to use the site as a direct line of communication with the people we serve because it’s important that residents have a better understanding of what it takes to keep them safe.”
At www.wacopa.org, visitors will find news and information about crime in Waco and how local crime rates compare with other cities in Texas. Research is presented showing how the number of police officers, their pay, benefits and working conditions impact public safety in Waco, and how local officers fare when compared with officers in other police departments.
Visitors to the site can learn more about the organization’s political action committee and how it works. And, on the site’s memorial pages, the association honors and remembers local officers who died in the line of duty.
The e-mail also invites people to sign up to receive the WPA’s e-mail newsletter. It also has a “featured headlines” section that has a number of police stories, many that appeared in the Tribune-Herald.

Instead of monitoring a stupid website, shouldn’t they be monitoring the streets?
The Waco Police Department is completely useless.

If that’s the case, People Lover, you should find yourself right at home on the website.
