  • An Update from Alex Gronke

    Hey funders, it's been a long time since you first pledged the dough to get me started on the OPD Blues story. You are no doubt wondering where that story is. I expect to be done at the end of the month. You are also probably wondering what's taken so long.

    My mission throughout this project has been to return to you with a profile of OPD that helps us better understand how OPD works, and how it doesn't. The last few months have been eventful for OPD. Through, crisis, changes in leadership, and tragedy the subject of the profile has been more than a moving target. The good news is that we have been talking to sources during these episodes, and the picture that emerges is richer than if the piece had been finished during some other, less tumultuous, four month period in the department's history.

    Thanks again for your support, and I look forward to your feedback.
