The Glendale Heights (IL) Police Department got a great sense of humor as well as a professional property manager by hiring Dwayne Mead recently, as this letter shows.

"Greetings: For years I have heard the shadowy rumors of your organization, but beyond confirming it existed somewhere in sunny California, you remained as elusive as a Court Order to Destroy. I am a retired police officer with a twenty-seven year background as a Crime Scene Technician, Major Case Unit and Evidence Property Control Officer. After retiring, I took an opening with this agency to 'straighten out' their evidence vault. Apparently twenty years of treating it as Fibber McGee's Closet had finally resulted in realizing they had a problem with an infinite volume of mass in a finite space."

We applaud the decision of Glendale Heights to address an issue that other agencies frequently ignore until they see their own Department in newspaper headlines.

Dwayne concludes, "Anyway, if you would be so kind as to send me an application I would like to join your group. Like I said, I need all the help I can get here."
