We may be heading into a sick day or two so we'll keep this short. It's been a busy week in Berkeley crime! Ran around chasing a few stories last night.

Tonight, health allowing, we'll be checking in on the [Police Accountability Board](https://berkeleyca.gov/your-government/boards-commissions/police-accountability-board?ref=berkeleyscanner.com) to see what it's up to. 

We've missed the last two meetings so we're interested to see what's on the agenda. 

Also, for those who may be interested, the board currently has vacancies. [Contact PAB](https://berkeleyca.gov/your-government/boards-commissions/police-accountability-board?ref=berkeleyscanner.com) for details. This appears to be the [application form](https://berkeleyca.gov/sites/default/files/2022-03/Police-Accountability-Board-Application.pdf?ref=berkeleyscanner.com).

We had a big win this week in terms of visibility: Our stories are now being shared in the NewsBreak, in addition to [Flipboard](https://flipboard.com/@berkeleyscanner/?ref=berkeleyscanner.com), SmartNews and [Google News](https://news.google.com/publications/CAAqBwgKMIeRwAswlKzXAw?ref=berkeleyscanner.com).

Our traffic, already strong, has continued to grow each month. Can't tell you how heartening that is to see.
