Our new blog - InsideLakelandPD.org - is officially one week old today. Last week was spent learning about the technology used to publish a blog and modifying layout features to give a pleasing appearance to our readers. We know we have a long way to go in mastering the inside tips and techniques of blogging, and we look forward to your comments about what you want to learn more about behind the scenes at Lakeland PD.
At this point we would like to give a word of thanks to WTVT - Fox 13 and our Polk County reporter, Ken Suarez for their feature story last Friday on our new blog Billy Townsend over at TBO.com mentioned us in his online blog for Polk County. And most recently, Barry Friedman,referred to us on Saturday as at least the second local institution to use blogs as a way to get information out to the public and solicit feedback from our citizenry. Thanks to everyone for mentioning us and welcoming us to the world of blogs.
This will be a fairly active week at Lakeland PD as we host the quarterly "Do The Right Thing" awards for local students on Wednesday, unveil a new bus for Lakeland PAL Thursday morning, and hold our annual awards ceremony for our members Thursday evening. We will be sure to keep you posted here with what is going on behind the scenes, and as always, we welcome your comments or questions.

What a great idea! It looks nice and is a great way for people to interact with you in a positive manner.
I am going to suggest we do the same locally (Hernando County)
You've done a great job - pat yourselves on the back :)
