The city/county online public report has a new look.
Ginny Schuler, senior criminal justice programmer/analyst, has added a some cool new features to the website, including a map that shows where incidents occurred.
The map is also color coded depending on the agency. The Missoula Police Department incidents will appear as blue. The Missoula County Sheriff’s Department [...]

The following is from the Missoula Police Department’s senior criminal justice programmer:
After some diligent work with my co-worker Ken Marshall, we have now put the Daily Public Media Report on the web (http://www.co.missoula.mt.us/911center/dailypublicreport/).
As you will see the report will automatically pre-fill with the last 24 hour period on the web [...]
After reporting this story about a homeless man who was shot in the cheek with a blowgun dart fired from a passing Lexus early Monday morning, I received word from a local blogger who recalled a similar incident 10 years ago, or so she remembered.
Here’s the August 1995 article written by former Missoulian reporter Mick [...]
After a hiatus from the blogosphere that I assure you, dear readers, was only temporary, I’d like to introduce a new weekly installment here at copsandcourts.com. It’s called Legalese.
That’s right, Legalese, as in that impossible-to-understand brand of jargon-y gobbledygook that lawyers use to obfuscate the clear and simple truth from us laypersons.

Michael Moore does a superb job covering Sgt. Bob Heinle’s memorial service. It’s a moving tribute to a great man and a fine police officer.
As Pastor Lowell Hochhalter wrapped up Wednesday’s memorial service for former Missoula Police Sgt. Bob Heinle, he set a pair of Heinle’s boots on the lectern.
They looked relatively new; after all, [...]
This is such sad news.
I saw Bob and Lisa Heinle coming across the Higgins Avenue Bridge at last summer’s Missoula Marathon, which Lisa ran to raise money for spinal cord research. I remember being so inspired by their firm and steadfast spirit, and by their commitment to one another and to the community.
Sgt. Heinle will [...]

Colanda L. Lint, 34, was initially charged with a count of attempted murder because of the seriousness of the injuries [...]
A 34-year-old woman is in jail on a felony charge of attempted murder after she allegedly stabbed a man in the chest Tuesday night at the Palace Apartments on West Broadway.
Colanda L. Lint faces a single count of attempted deliberate homicide and remains jailed in Missoula. The 42-year-old victim is hospitalized with serious injuries that [...]
Dispatchers on the police scanner Sunday said a woman had been living at the Super Wal-Mart store on Mullan Road for three days.
It seems plausible. After all, the colossal box store is open 24/7, and it’s big enough that you could circumnavigate the building for about 72 hours without being noticed.
I checked in with police [...]
Someone stole the “Real Change, Not Spare Change” container from Worden’s Market in downtown Missoula on Sunday.
Employees working at the time of the theft estimated that the jar contained about $20. The employees also identified a likely culprit, a homeless man, and police confirmed they have identified a suspect.
However, no charges have been filed, and [...]
