Police Log: Benicia Police Shut the Door on an Open House

Proving they are adept at negotiation and assistance the Benicia police were able to help one couple make a decision about their child’s medical care and then help a homeowner secure a home.  The disappearing barking dog has taken the week off but alarms continue to go off for no obvious reason.

Editor’s Note:  Even though I inject a bit of humor into these police logs, please remember, the men and women whose job it is to protect us rarely find it funny when they are approaching a drunk person or a building where the alarm is going off.
