I have done numerous media interviews on the Caylee Anthony missing child case that is transpiring right here in Orlando, FL. I have strong feelings on how law enforcement agencies and experts need to be handling cases of this publicity laden magnitude. My latest "Weinblatt's Tips" column on law enforcement website www.PoliceOne.com came out yesterday (08/22/08) and reflects my multi-year call for law enforcement responiveness and partnership with the media. The article, "P1 Exclusive: What law enforcement can learn from the Caylee Anthony case," covers the need for law enforcement agencies and experts to interact with the media.
According to PoliceOne.com, the website, based in San Francisco, CA, has almost 700,000 unique visitors each month with more than 176,000 registered law enforcement members representing over 14,000 agencies.
The latest column is featured on the front of the website, as well as in the primary slot in today's PoliceOne.com email newsletter (which is emailed to 94,000 law enforcement professionals). It can be read by clicking the link: http://www.policeone.com/writers/columnists/Richard-Weinblatt/articles/1728471-P1-Exclusive-What-law-enforcement-can-learn-from-the-Caylee-Anthony-case/
The concepts in the column reflect my sentiments as documented even way back in a February 1992 media relations article I wrote for Law and Order: The Magazine for Police Management. As I mentioned in the latest PoliceOne.com column, the concepts I wrote about in 1992 are dated, but not outdated. The media storm swirling around law enforcement in the Caylee Anthony case are only going to become more frequent. It's time that we embrace this police-media partnership and fill up the airtime with accurate law enforcement generated information.

Thanks for the compliment regarding my son, Michael. He is cute (and he knows it too).
As for the physical level of the police academy, it depends which academy you attend. Some are very hard (like the one I manage) while others are not so difficult. Hard is good. You want to be sure that the law enforcer that comes to your house to assist your family can handle him or herself.
Thanks for the question.

I heard that your only allowed to have a taser after you have been tasered once. Is that true? I saw the video of your view on the Student tasered at SEN KERRY
Do you think it is fair he got tasered multiple times?
