We have a policy of publishing every arrest that local law enforcement releases (I do not believe they all get released for some reason, mainly very innocent reasons such as just not getting around to doing it (typically each officer takes care of his or her own releases). I'm not sure of the Daily's policy, but at previous newspapers I've worked for, that policy did not necessarily exist given space limitations inherent with printed papers.

I did not see my local newspaper but I did check the website. They Posted: Tuesday, June 21, 2011 7:27 am, so maybe it was not available at that time. I find it curious now.

Also, the Daily posts items released by police over the weekend on Saturdays and Sundays. I save everything up from the weekend until Monday.
