This is Transparency

Here is how a real police department public information should work.  In this case it's Boise ID police.  True, they may have more PIO officers, but Fremont's flow of info needs some serious improvement. Here is a timely tweet to an active scene:

6m

Officers are attempting to make contact with an aggravated assault suspect in a home on the 1600 block of Hervey. Officers believe the man may be armed and are working to handle the situation safely and slowly. No further information is available at this time.

As you can read above, everything the public needs to know is there. What, where, when and why. Keeps false rumors and guessing from spreading.

And they keep the public updated:

Update: the suspect is in custody and the scene is secure.
