✅ Use data
✅ Inform, not just promote

We are aware of a post circulating on social media claiming that Venezuelan men were arrested after allegedly attempting to roofie women at Cool Beans Bar and Grill this past weekend.

That post is false. The KPD has not received any reports or made any arrests of that nature.
