BEATRICE, Neb. (AP) - Beatrice police have deployed a new weapon in their search for suspects: humor.
Officer Kris Gill is the brain behind the humorous Facebook posts that accompany security snapshots, and Gill says all of the individuals pictured in the posts have been identified. Gill says that's a vast improvement from the limited results gained from previous postings.
Police Chief Bruce Lang told the Beatrice Daily Sun that he was amazed by how fast some of the crimes were solved following the posts
He also says it's tricky finding the right balance of humor and seriousness when dealing with suspected crimes.
