This morning I was looking for previous press releases by the Woodstock Police Department on its hard-to-find webpage, and I found only three releases posted there.
During the year and, in fact, there have been more. Not many more, but some. This page is found on the City's website, www.woodstockil.gov
From there, roll your mouse over City Departments, then Police, and then click on Crime Stopper Cases / Press Releases / Crime Alerts.
Various monthly traffic initiatives were posted there, as well as the topics for the monthly Coffee with the Chief gatherings. Why doesn't the Police Department archive prior releases for historical reference? I was looking for the press release from the P.D. about the Delisi death (Sept. 13) and the autopsy's reported result of inconclusive.
The City does the same thing with its Community Calendar on the City's web homepage. As soon as a meeting occurs, it's "history". Literally --- the system is set to remove the program or meeting from the Calendar, and then it becomes work to find it. Want to know what happened in September? Click on the small letters at the bottom left of the Calendar? How about August? Go on; do it...
The City of Woodstock should follow the example of the McHenry County Calendar, which allows past programs to remain on calendar pages, as it important, easy, quick reference to what happened and when.
You never know who is interested…
