Dallas Constables Series
Category:
33 - Star Investigative Report of the Year
Entrant information:
Ed Timms, Kevin Krause
Judges Comments:
Kevin Krause and Ed Timms receive honorable mention for their ongoing expose of abuses of power by Dallas constables. Their stories in 2010 documented shoddy hiring practices and dilatory law enforcement. The reporting was done in the face of prosecutors' stonewalling of their public records' requests. Krause and Timms' two-year investigation has led to indictments and significant reforms of one of Texas's most venerable institutions.
