So for some reason, the SFPD doesn’t want to share a video that would help them solve a crime;
“The video released this past Friday has been very helpful and eye-opening, shedding light on where Tyler was headed the morning of September 4th. If anyone knows where Tyler went that morning, please reach out and speak up. This season has been absolutely dreadful and confusing for our family. We all want answers. I know the SFPD has more footage from Combined Building Specialties that shows Tyler walking toward the interstate, and I am hoping that footage will also be released to the public. If anyone knows where Tyler went, SPEAK UP. This is incredibly difficult to express because my vulnerability is being mocked and used as an opportunity to create baseless theories. It’s putting my family’s safety at risk and perpetuating a false narrative that only endangers my family even more. Enough is enough.” – Mona Lisa Perez
As we know, police departments across the country and state have been successful posting evidence online to social media and getting the public to help them solve a crime. I remember a story from a small town in Eastern SD (I forget the name) but after posting a crime on their FB page it was solved in a matter of hours. GIVING THE PUBLIC INFORMATION WILL HELP YOUR INVESTIGATION! THIS IS CRIME PREVENTION 101. They don’t get it. While I hate closed government on ALL LEVELS, the PD should always be transparent in their investigations. Their lack of transparency only cost$ taxpayers because of extended investigations that go nowhere. Unfortunately we will probably have to wait for a new mayor and council to get transparency from the PD. The first thing I would do is fire the chief, the information officer (he would be FIRST!) and all the detectives and replace them with national searches that actually know how to investigate crimes and be transparent with the public. I have felt for a long time that the chief has a ‘warm bodies’ attitude towards hiring and the COS’s son is in charge of that. I often advise people if you can solve the crime on your own, you are probably better off.
