Talking Turkey

Spokane Police Have Found Their True Calling

Police in Spokane have revealed their anonymous tip line has been receiving calls about anything but crime. Residents have called to ask which businesses are open on holidays, how long it takes to thaw a 12-pound turkey, what the boating regulations are and how long to wait after a death to read a will. The hot-line gets about a dozen calls a day, but it is not clear how many are actually crime-related.
