Former Lake Worth PBSO (District 14) Capt. Silva taking over the Wellington district

FYI: The most-viewed blog post of the week:
This image is of Capt. Silva on one of his many community "crime walks" in the little City of Lake Worth.
Jorge Millan at The Palm Beach Post has this news which also appears in today's (3/31) print edition, page B2, above the fold. Here is an excerpt:
     Capt. Rolando Silva, former commander of PBSO’s Lake Worth district, has replaced [Cpt. Jay] Hart. Silva was credited by Lake Worth residents for setting up crime watch programs in the city. [emphasis added]
     The Wellington district is comprised of 39 patrol deputies, seven sergeants, three detectives and a lieutenant among others, according to PBSO’s website.
The video below of a community crime walk in Lake Worth was taken by PBSO. The only news media (other than this blog) to report on this was the local paper of record, The Lake Worth Herald.

Prior to this particular community event last year all the media (print and TV news) in Palm Beach County was alerted and not a single one showed up. Not one. Good news from the county media about PBSO takes a back seat, you see—especially news that shows our District 14 in a positive light here in the City of Lake Worth.
