the possibility of the person we're looking for 159 00:13:35,916 --> 00:13:39,751 but an animal, such as an alligator laying there, 160 00:13:39,819 --> 00:13:43,655 or a snake or anything at this

163 00:14:03,510 --> 00:14:04,709 and then start shooting at us. 164 00:14:18,458 --> 00:14:24,429 [Starling speaking] 165 00:14:26,566 --> 00:14:32,804 When we do send a K-9 team or a search team

00:14:41,646 to where they could get hurt. 169 00:14:43,416 --> 00:14:45,116 [Starling speaking] 170 00:14:59,733 --> 00:15:02,934 Around the lake, all you can hear is frogs croaking. 171 00:15:02,936

However, there's pros and cons to working in the community that you grew up in. 250 00:20:32,732 --> 00:20:35,733 You know, the pros is you kn the geographical area, 251 00:20:35,802 --> 00:20:37,935 you know the streets like the back of your hand. 252 00:20:37,937 --> 00:20:42,406 You know the people, which is a huge benefit for law enforcement. 253 00:20:42,408 --> 00:20:44,942 The cons is you also know the people. 254 00:20:44,944 --> 00:20:48,012 Sometimes, you have to enforce the law 255 00:20:48,014 --> 00:20:49,947 and you may know them, it may be your neighbor. 256 00:20:50,049 -->

00:21:22,013 an attempted stolen vehicle 263 00:21:22,015 --> 00:21:23,314 a garage burglary 264 00:21:23,316 --> 00:21:26,417 all in a small geographical area. 265 00:21:27,287 --> 00:21:35,426

00:22:38,958 --> 00:22:41,425 and putting an end to this tear. 284 00:22:45,231 --> 00:22:49,033 We pinpointed the area and the timeframes 285 00:22:49,035 --> 00:22:51,102 when these crimes were occurring. 286 00:22:51,104 --> 00:22:55,506 And that's what we used as a map to place our officers in those areas. 287 00:22:57,143 --> 00:23:00,511 And on August 2nd, that strategy paid off. 288
