Hello, inaccurate Police Department Memo! :)

After a year and a half of watching a nasty bullying situation brewing and bubbling and finally spilling over to the community at large, Steve Hedtke gave a speech at the March 8, 2010 City Council meeting [the same day he filed to run for City Council, Place 2 against Tim Lightfoot] calling on the Police Department and City Officials to stop sitting on their hands and DO something about the illegal activities going on.
You can read some of his speech here:

{page 1, bottom right hand column, continued on page 7. will upload his speech in it's entirety in a bit}.

He gave this speech knowing it would cost him big political points, but things were out of hand for our community, and "political points" are not worth letting this kind of stuff continue.

The PD responded by creating, reading, and printing an emotionally-charged memo that was full of inaccuracies and allegations. Open Records Requests have shown a lot of interesting things about how our city is handling this unprofessional Police Memo.
you can read the full memo here:

{"Police Chief Discusses"...continued on page 7. will have exact copy uploaded soon}.
An audio recording of the meeting reveals that the Chief did NOT read this verbatim based on several issues citizens had with the wording of this memo, but neither was the memo denounced even after 5 different people pointed out the errors in the memo.

A basic middle school student can spot a few simple errors right off the bat, with just what was printed in the Red Oak Record. ;)

gotta run-- more later....
