Two Stabbed KERMAN, Sept. 12 - The Kerman Police Dept. reports that two men were stabbed in Kerckhoff Park, in Kerman, on Monday evening, Sept. 11. The police responded to the park at about 11:51 p.m., finding one victim who was stabbed in the leg, and a second who was stabbed in the abdomen.

New Police Unit Aimed at Drugs, Gangs The Kerman Police Department has formed a new enforcement unit, the Special Investigations Division (SID). The unit is broken down into two sections: a gang unit and a narcotics unit. During the unit’s first first week in existence officers conducted a parole/probation sweep which netted three felony arrests and one misdemeanor arrest, and sent two parolees back to prison. Officers also executed a search warrant which sent another parolee back to prison. "We intend to make an impact in our city," says KPD Chief William Newton. "Should you want to keep on committing criminal acts we will catch up with you, and we will take you to jail. Get smart and get legal, or get out of our town."
