Each Friday, I go to the Dormont Police Department and Chief Ross provides me with information about incidents that occurred within the past week. The items reported in the blotter are the items that were made public to me. There are several reasons an incident of this nature might not have been reported. For example, the incident might have required police attention, but might not have resulted in any arrests or citations. Incidents involving medical examiners, ambulances, etc. could be of a very personal nature, such as personal medical emergencies, which typically aren't reported as blotter items.
