Covering a small city 

For InBerkeley.com.

I was walking on Solano Ave approaching Alameda when I saw a few people looking at an accident scene down the block.

Several fire trucks, a police car blocking traffic. I could see a bicycle and an ambulance. The other people didn't know what had happened beyond that there had been an accident.

I took a picture of course.

So now it's an hour later, I'm at the computer, and poking around the City of Berkeley website, the fire department, police, Alta Bates Hospital, and come up with nothing. There's no record of what happened, or is there?

if there is a log -- where is it?

If not, who do I talk with about getting one going?

It seems this is the most basic beginning to having an effective local website.

Update: There is a public information officer in Berkeley.

Update: Berkeley Crimelog. (!)
