It's going to be a male with a white, gray, hoodie, black pants, white riding booths.
00:19
Probably.
00:21
Go ahead, ma'am.
00:23
Go ahead, ma'am.
00:26
Can you screw here for an end up?
00:29
Yeah, you got it. Is that going to be the H.HR?
00:32
Yes,
00:34
it is. It has keys.
00:36
Copy.

Yep,
00:54

00:55
Copy thanks.
01:00
Go ahead.
01:03
Hey, well, what's the trip history at this address regarding runways?
01:10
Oh, I know there's a lot, but to stand by.
01:17
If you just want to go to Channel 3, my partner, I'll talk to you.
01:22
Copy.
01:27
I love to have history right now, but I know we've been out here several times over the last week or so, reference that same female.
01:35
She usually runs away,
01:38
hangs out nearby, and then makes her way back.
01:41
Yeah, we've got quite a few trips just since the 29th,
01:46
five or six of them, reference her.
01:51
Happy, has Dean of any cop or sergeant has came out and talked to these people regarding a more permanent solution other than letting her walk out the front door and then calling us?
02:05
I don't know the specifics on that. I think 302 Redmond was out there a couple of days ago, and I think he's over on four right now. I can see if you can jump over here quick.
02:17
Yeah, if you wouldn't mind, just so I can hopefully try to put a stop to the runaway reports that are completed within an hour or so.
02:29
Yeah, everybody.
02:32
Let's make sure.
02:37
We'll be head to the DMAC prelo now. Copy thank you.
02:46
I'm sure.
02:50
I'll take you somewhere and then you just start to throw it out here for a truck.
02:54
It's going to be about 25 yards into someone's tribal.
02:59
Copy, 120 Adam, cases 26, 391-26391.
03:08
More permanent solution, other than just letting her walk out the front door and calling us, asking for a one-array report when she returns back in a dependent hour or so.
03:21
Yeah,
03:22
we never really came up with anything. I talked to Sergeant Long about doing a habitual offender for a runaway, but he said,
03:29
it's most likely not going to happen.
03:32
Sorry, I don't really have much for you. That's what I'm doing. I've done about three times now, just taking her back.
03:52
Copy. I appreciate you, bud.
03:56
Yeah, you bet. Good luck with that.
04:00
Hey, right, Ken, you still over here.
04:03
Hey, right, you still here?
04:06
I'm still here. I'm still over here.
04:09
Hey, Chavez.
04:10
She likes to try and find her mom who doesn't want to love her at all. Her mom lives near Forest Dr in those brick apartments on the southeast corner.
04:21
So that's usually where she ends up.
04:23
But then when mom goes to the door, then she goes to McDonald's, because McDonald's has Wi-Fi, that's where she uses her tablet.
04:34
I'm not going to have a second.
04:48
I was just doing some big and I haven't talked to staff just yet.
04:55
I haven't even talked to staff just yet.
05:01
They've got a phone number for mom, and mom will tell you straight up if she's got the kid because she doesn't want them. When I called mom, she said that she's currently knocking on the door, which I came over the phone call, she goes, but I ain't letting her in.
05:12
If you just want to call ahead to staff, she gets a phone number for mom, she'll don't wait to drive. It's probably beneficial.
