WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF CLEARING OUT THE BAYHAM STREET MORGUE AND REFITTING IT AS A GRADE 4 ‘SECURE HYGIENE’ AREA, SO PERSONAL ITEMS MAY NO LONGER BE KEPT HERE. THIS NOTICE ESPECIALLY APPLIES TO THE PERSON WHO LEFT A BOX OF MAYNARD’S ‘OLDE TYME’ WINE GUMS AND A JAR OF BRANSTON PICKLE IN ONE OF THE CADAVER DRAWERS.
NEXT MONDAY THE PCU FILM CLUB WILL BE SHOWING ‘IT ALWAYS RAINS ON SUNDAY’ WITH GOOGIE WITHERS.
THIS WAS SERGEANT LONGBRIGHT’S CHOICE, SO ALL THOSE WHO WERE EXPECTING A SCREENING OF THE NEW MARTIN SCORSESE FILM SHOULD ADDRESS THEIR COMPLAINTS TO HER.
PLEASE READ THE NEW RECOMMENDED GUIDELINES ON SUSPECT SEARCHES AND CONFISCATION OF PROPERTY. SUSPECTS HAVE RIGHTS, APPARENTLY, EVEN IF YOU THINK THEY MIGHT HAVE CUT OFF SOMEONE’S HEAD AND LEFT IT IN THEIR FRIDGE. DON’T BLAME ME, I DON’T MAKE THE RULES.
THIS THURSDAY’S EVENING CLASS, TO BE GIVEN BY RAYMOND LAND ON “POLICEWORK AND THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING,” HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO LACK OF INTEREST.
PLEASE NOTE THAT SARDINES IN SUNFLOWER OIL DO NOT AGREE WITH CRIPPEN, AS THE PERSON WHO STACKED THEIR OUTGOING MAIL NEAR HIS LITTER TRAY WILL DISCOVER TO THEIR DISADVANTAGE.
