Lakeland Police Blog: The "On Medical Leave" Edition

Our blog postings have been rather slim the last few weeks, with the bulk of posts being limited to our weekly crime reports. That is because I am on medical leave for the next six weeks following hip surgery last Monday. (All went well, and I am well on the road to recovery - thank you.)

Since we try to keep the INSIDE blog more personal in voice and nature, I have not designated a replacement "blogmaster" to fill in during my absence. Sgt. Terri Smith, supervisor of the Crime Analysis Unit, has maintained the posts of crime reports and crime maps for us, as well the LPD Media Center where media releases and breaking news are posted. It is time for a return of fresh material to INSIDE.

I am at a point now where I can resume daily postings of commentary, observations, and insightful information about what is going on around LPD. Believe me, it feels so good to be at this stage of recovery.

So as I begin to assemble the various posts that will be uploaded this week and the following weeks, you now know why you see a sudden flurry of activity after several weeks of limited action.

My hip is not yet ready for street duty, but my talented surgeon left my typing fingers intact while he was giving me a new hip... I am most grateful for all that he did for me.

I am so behind these days. I hope you are feeling better and I will keep you in my prayers. :)
