PaCrimeWatch Downtime

PaCrimeWatch reporting will be minimal during the next several of weeks due to employment search activities. While PaCrimeWatch is my passion, it is not my full-time employment. As a Licensed Practical Nurse with education, background and experience in healthcare and computer technology, I have been working as a help-desk representative under a two-year contract for a Johnson & Johnson company. As that contract nears its "end date" all efforts must be directed towards obtaining a new position.

PaCrimeWatch will resume normal operation once this objective is completed.
