The Cop Doc Radio Show: Officer.com redesign, Casey Anthony update, & Police Reserve Officer website

Tonight, be sure to listen to The Cop Doc Radio Show Officer.com redesign show. We'll have Officer.com editor-in-chief Frank Borelli back again along with two of his star columnists- Chief William Harvey and Kevin Davis. Along with host police expert former police chief Dr. Richard Weinblatt, The Cop Doc, they'll discuss the redesign of one of the leading law enforcement websites, as well as the top police items dominating the news headlines.

Casey Anthony Trial Update

Also covered tonight will be an update of the Casey Anthony legal proceedings underway here in Florida. Michigan prosecutor and well-known legal media commentator Donna Pendergast will weigh in with her thoughts on the jury selection in Pinnelas County, FL.

Police Reserve Website Launch

Lastly, the launch on April 23, 2011 of a new website serving the information needs of aspiring and current volunteer and part-time law enforcement officers (known variously as reserve, auxiliary, special, supernumerary, or intermittent depending on local jurisdictional preferences) and police and sheriffs administrators, will be touched on. The website was created by an authority expert on reserve policing. PoliceReserveOfficer.com has a combination of original content and classic writings dealing with everything from the duties of reserves to the tragic line of duty deaths of these law enforcers who are the ultimate in community policing as they put the police in the community and the community in the police.

The Cop Doc Radio Show was devoted to this topic a week ago and can be listened to at The Cop Doc Radio Show Police Reserve Officer. More detail was previously on PoliceReserveOfficer.com Radio Show and The Cop Doc Blog Police Reserve Officer Radio Show.

PoliceReserveOfficer.com has been well received as evidenced by its already ranking number nine on May 5, 2011 on the first page of Google. It is seeing some great traffic and keyword searches. This screen capture illustrates it's high ranking (which is even better since it happened so quickly) in it's niche market of reserve police.

Casey Anthony Trial Costs: Police Expert News Interview

As the Casey Anthony trial gets underway here in Central Florida, I did yet another news interview in my role as a police expert. I've done another of other Anthony case media interviews. This one was on the high bill in costs to taxpayers for the trial concerning the death of little Caylee Anthony. I told WOFL Fox 35 News at 10's Shannon Butler, who is a terrific reporter and a real pleasure to work with on stories, that quite a bit of the costs that are going to come in the form of security and law enforcement. Mostly borne by the Ornage County Sheriff's Office, the impact will also be absorbed by the Orlando Police Department.

As I explained to Shannon Butler, there will be a lot of behind the scenes issues that Sheriff Jerry Demings' folks are going to have to contend with. Traffic, parking, and front door security is but the tip of the iceberg. It will involve more than just the deputy sheriffs manning the metal detectors at the courthouse entrance. The agency will also have to do its share of threat analysis in response to the messages coming from the many not so stable folks fixated on the trial's participants. I covered this quite a bit in another blog post: Chaos or Order: Police Expert View on Casey Anthony Trial Security.

The news interview with Fox 35's Shannon Butler is below. What do you think?
