Finally, Concord police Officer James Roberts will discuss drinking and driving during the holiday season, including the objective symptoms of DUIs, the actions taken by the police department to discourage drinking and driving, and the legal consequences for a drinking driver.
Due to circumstances sometimes beyond the control of the “Street Smart” production staff, all listed guests and show topics are subject to change without notice.
“Street Smart” will have its regular segments — exceptional student, ARF adoptable pets and traffic safety tips — plus a “Police History/Trivia” segment.
On the hour-long program, officers also will provide information about how to build safer communities, and will profile the Turtle Creek neighborhood, an area of the city that includes Treat Boulevard, Cowell Road and Ygnacio Valley Road. Crime statistics for the neighborhood for the past six months will be reviewed, along with crime prevention and public safety tips.
On “Concord Cold Case,” the segment dedicated to informing the viewers about unsolved criminal cases in the city, tonight’s show will focus Joel Daniel Cortes, who died after being brutally attacked and stabbed multiple times by three or four subjects Jan. 5, 2007, while walking in the area of Lacey Lane and Tilson Drive, near Cambridge Elementary School in Concord.
Viewers are encouraged to call the phone number given on the show with questions about previous shows.
