Web Resources for Police: 80 active US and Canadian police blogs

At Spartan Cops we feel that the web allows information to flow freely and great ideas to float into the mainstream.  Blogs are a critical part of this flow and a good source of innovation, ideas, and discussion.  These police blogs are all currently active US or Canadian blogs.  There are quite a few excellent UK police blogs but we constrained this list to just North America

Although we spent a month researching these, I’m sure there are some we have missed.  Please add any other active police blogs in the comments.
