Going Back To A Few Past Calls...

Since I have just started this, I just want to go back to what i've heard recently on the scanner. Remember, these are not official accounts of the police call, but what came over the scanner as the calls were dispatched initially....


The first item that I was actually surprised about -

......... was a call that was received that a 11 year old boy was struck by a school bus on Worcester's busiest streets - Belmont St. The police responded to this call and found the boy unconcious. While the officer was calling in the scene, you can hear a female screaming and crying -- it was quite chilling. The surprise was that the Worcester Telegram & Gazzette had no accounting of this incident in the newspaper. I even e-mailed them to tip them off, but to no avail.


A shocking call -

.......A call was received from a woman saying that her male pit-bull dog was attacking the female dog and that the male would not get off the female dog. The caller stated there was blood all over the place. The female dog apparently had pups as well. The Animal Control Unit and other police officers had responded to the call. Once the officers had arrived on the scene they radioed back to dispatch that there was blood all over the place. It was indicated that the male dog had jumped out of the window and starting running towards the busy Grafton Street area near Walgreens. Officers tracked the dog down and cornered it. It was reported back to dispatch that the dog had to be shot to neutralize it. About 4 shots were fired at the dog.


And in this early AM blog -

.............Police responded to a call by a father to get police assistance with his 16 year old son who was having sexual intercourse with a 15 year old girl. Call came in as a domestic abuse situation. Police took 15 yr old girl home to the parents to have a talk with them.....

About This Blog...

Not only am I person who is involved with everyday media, but also a resident and citizen of Worcester, Massachusetts. I am just as concerned as everyone else is about today's economy. I care about where my hard paying money in taxes go to the government on the local, state and federal levels.

I have a fondness for police radio scanning, especially in the second biggest city in New England. I have found too often that the local newspaper, the Worcester Telegram and Gazette, pick and choose the stories they wish to publish for Worcester and surrounding towns and cities. I was shocked in how much this newspaper leaves out when it comes to police activity in Worcester, Massachusetts. The calls that have come over the police scanner are intense, shocking and surprising; but yet many of these calls are calls that the citizens of Worcester do not know about.

The blog is to give the readers a general idea of what police activity takes place in the city. You will read about what happens in the police world. I will however, leave out identifying details as most of these calls are not considered official until a police report is filed. There is much confusion and misunderstanding in the nature of many of these police calls when a call is first received and then responded to by the Worcester Police Department. It takes time to sort out a police call and then an official police report is filed.

I try to follow the Police scanner daily, but don't always have the time. For those times I do police scanning, I will blog about the calls that the police are dispatched to, but will leave out identifying information that identifies victims, the accused and the police officers who respond to these calls.

Hope you enjoy the reading...
