All those will just be advised to check your department phones for the photo of the escaped prisoner. In the same time for units canvassing the area. 10-4[1], a unit? No, we're on the back. Guys. Thank you. Do you know, can you have one unit to go by East 6th Street and another you're going to go by East 10th Street by the park? I have another unit responding to East 6 regarding the escaped prisoner. We're by the running track, but we advised that it was a construction worker and not the prisoner. 10-4, no problem. Public safety, show me canvassing. Aviation is still doing a canvas around the area. Do we have a location? Advise that possible sighting was near the tennis court. Nothing further.
