Dear Jeff:

I was out having coffee & breakfast at a restaurant along Stony Plain Road earlier this morning. A little girl was asking her mom why the police had "so many cars outside." The child was a bit young for mom too say that the Edmonton Police Service had cordoned off the road b/c of a murder investigation. So mom instead thought quickly & said it was b/c the police had to close the road to "catch some bad guys." I thought this was a good explanation b/c the mom was saying to the child that folks need to cooperate with police, including little boys & girls. So she was instilling a sense of trust & happiness in the girl that the police were indeed keeping people (including her & her mom safe.)

"The Line Up",

Rory
