Durham police chief apologizes for lack of communication during June crime spree
The Durham police chief is vowing to do a better job of communicating following complaints by residents that they were notified soon enough about a crime spree last month.
Posted — UpdatedThe incident happened on a Monday, but police said Owens committed similar crimes the previous Saturday and Sunday.
On Thursday, Durham Police Chief C.J. Davis said there had been new watch commanders in place and admitted that they should have gotten the word out to the community as soon as detectives notices similarities between the crimes.
“We don’t always get it right, but we will continue to work to make sure that we get communication out in a timely fashion,” Davis said.
Davis said one of the things her department needs to improve on is using social media to communicate with residents.
