If it wasn't for crime there wouldn't any news to report. Get out there and start reporting on some feel good news.

where in the heck does WKTV get the pictures that they post under the headlines of their stories. I'm not aware of one police agency in the area that has a light bar on the roof of their patrol cars like this one? Stellar!
