Oakland Tribune December 4, 2008 | Anonymous The Concord Police Department’s crime prevention show, “Street Smart,” is televised live at 7 p.m. the first and third Thursday of each month on Comcast Cable Channel 28 and on Astound Broadband Channel 29.

It also can be viewed online from the city Web site at www.cityofconcord.org.

Hosting tonight’s “Street Smart” are officers Ken Carlson and Beth Long of the Concord Police Department.

Guests on this week’s show include Concord K-9 Officer Heidi Stephenson and Cynthia DeRita, Pet Food Express store manager, who will be discussing an upcoming fundraiser by the Concord Police Department’s K-9 Unit, in conjunction with Pet Food Express and East Bay Animal Rescue & Refuge. K-9 Unit demonstrations, talks about canine safety, and sale of K-9 T-shirts and dog wash coins are all part of the fundraiser set for 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Dec. 6, at Pet Food Express, 5404 Ygnacio Valley Road in Clayton Valley Shopping Center, with proceeds benefiting two funds to provide veterinary care and memorial expenses for retired K-9s from the police department. see here pet food express

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.

“Street Smart” is rebroadcast at 8 p.m. every second and fourth Thursday of the month on Comcast Channel 28 and Astound Channel 29. It is also replayed every morning, except Sundays, at 6 a.m., and at 2 and 6 p.m. Saturdays.

Street Smart is produced by the Concord Police Department and made possible by the city of Concord.
