Kingsport Police Department announces new Electronic Police Blotter
KINGSPORT – For some time now, the Kingsport Police Department has been utilizing an e-Press Release to disseminate information to the media via e-mail.‚ Now, we are pleased to announce our new K.P.D. Blotter, which will also be circulated by way of e-mail.‚ The primary difference between our e-Press Release and our K.P.D. Blotter is that the former is delivered primarily to members of the media, while the latter will be circulated to anyone who wishes to subscribe.‚ Topics that will be relayed in the K.P.D. Blotter may include but not be limited to new laws, community safety tips, new programs being offered by the department, recent investigatory successes, crime trends, unsolved cases, closed roads, emergency preparedness, etc.‚ Occasionally, we may even request assistance from our subscribers on a current investigation, as each citizen is an extra set of eyes and ears in the community to help us gather information.‚ We at the Kingsport Police Department realize that while the actual members of the department accomplish a great deal every day, we can accomplish so much more with the help of our citizenry.‚ If anyone wishes to subscribe to the new K.P.D. Blotter, all they need to do is send an e-mail request to KPDBlotter@KingsportTN.gov, and they will be added to the distribution list.‚ For additional information or questions concerning the new K.P.D. Blotter, please contact our Community Relations and Crime Prevention Officer, Ptl. Thomas M. Patton, at ThomasMPatton@KingsportTN.gov or 423-229-9433.
