Like the police blotter only...not.

The LAPD has a blog.

The most notable thing about it so far is that it has comments, which is excellent. So far the posts have been more police blotter-like than conversational, but it's a great start and it will be interesting to see where they go with it.

They do have a category for the Chief of Police (and also an irritating setup where the URL never changes when you click on a link unless you choose to open a new window) and he's made one entry so far. It'll be interesting to see if he gets more conversational too.
