Thanks for all the positive comments and words of encouragement. If you’re confused with some of the calls coming in to us, you’re not the only one. It would just never occur to me to call the police to ask for help to screw in a light bulb (oh yes, it’s true), or to mediate a child issue over spaghetti. We also get calls telling us how we are not doing our job (they got the ticket); and callers want us to get serious with the “real” criminals (you get the ticket).
