“MAKE THE CALL” TELEVISION SHOW TO AIR TONIGHT

SHOW PROFILES UNSOLVED MURDERS

March 5 – The Police Department and the Mid-Peninsula Media Center have partnered

again to host the second episode of the cable-television show “MAKE THE CALL”. The

show will be hosted by former Judge LaDoris Cordell (CBS5 legal analyst) and will air

tonight, March 5, 2009, at 7:00 p.m. on the Mid-Peninsula Cable Channel 27. The show

will also stream simultaneously on the Media Center’s website.

This show will profile two unsolved murders (cold-cases) in East Palo Alto and feature

the friends and families of the victims in an effort to humanize the victims, encourage

witnesses to get involved, and elicit information that will help solve these cases.

As part of the show Faye McNair-Knox, Ph.D., Executive Director, One East Palo Alto

and Heather Sterns, Executive Director, For Youth By Youth (FYBY), will participate in a

panel discussion on the “Live in Peace Movement” in East Palo Alto.

The Police Department will also display its new “CrimeReports” system that allows

community members to track real-time crime data and receive email alerts when crimes

occur in their neighborhood. Throughout the program the Police Department will provide

its anonymous murder tip line (1-888-Murder-0) and air its “Stop the Violence” video

(made in partnership with “No More Tears” – a group of San Quentin inmates) and “Most

Wanted” list.
