The Freeport Scanner page on Facebook is up and running. If you interact in the Facebook social network you should check this out.
Their page is informative and yet is not a gossip page. I love it. No names are mentioned in degrading ways and the posts are not disrespectful in any way.
They say, "a place to post Fire , Ems, And police information in and around Freeport and Stephenson County."
I've been watching the development of other scanner pages and have found it to be a truly honorible service. Weather related post and road information can be critcal at times.
GOOD JOB!!!!

A Winnebago County Circuit Court Ruling in favor of the Village of Pecatonica was issued on September 6, 2011. The Court’s ruling found that a contract between WMI and the Village of Pecatonica was void since it violated State Law. The contract was entered into by the former Village President, Robert Whetsel, on January 7, 2004 and was void because its duration extended beyond the term of the Village President. Current Village President Shawn Connors filed the lawsuit in order to have the contract declared invalid and prevent WMI from attempting to collect a penalty of $100,000 against the Village of Pecatonica for refusing the continue using the services of WMI.

Their page is informative and yet is not a gossip page. I love it. No names are mentioned in degrading ways and the posts are not disrespectful in any way.
They say, "We are here to provide public safety calls to the facebook community. Fire, Police, Medical, etc., etc. I will post any activity I hear. But I am only human and can not listen 24 hours a day. Anyone else listening is free to post any action heard. However please do not include address or names. Street and nature of the call is all that needs to be posted."
