The Freeport Police Station

Veteran Reporter, Anne Downey

Anne Downey has covered the police beat for The Freeport News for 12 years. She's covered everything from five-alarm fires to murders. She's an award-winning reporter who's not afraid to dig beneath the surface to search for angles that go beyond the sparse police reports. She assumes nothing. She pays attention to detail. She asks tough questions and spends hours examining documents that might contain a key fact about a building's past fire code violations. She usually finds the right source for verifying her information. She writes fast and clean copy. Her writing features strong verbs, tight construction and gripping leads.

Look at the new toolbox that has been added to the top left of your screen. You may want to refer to these documents when listening to the police scanner and interviewing sources. You should print the documents out.
