A presentation on Flock Safety cameras in Monday's Roseburg City Council's regular meeting seemingly led to more questions than answers and the item returning right onto the next meeting's agenda.Roseburg Police Chief Gary Klopfenstein presented information regarding automated license plate readers (ALPRs) to the council, after members of the public raising concerns over such technology in the preceding council meetings.In 2023, the Roseburg City Council received a presentation regarding Flock and authorized the chief to proceed with the contract. Klopfenstein said at that time the city contracted for 15 ALPRs to be places in ingress/egress locations in Roseburg, which took 11 months to install and have been running since The city entered into a new two-year contract when the first contract expired in February 2026."We're short-staffed, and Flock is a great investigative tool," Klopfenstein said. "The public safety problem we were trying to solve is criminal, criminal investigations frequently involve vehicles, vehicles can provide investigators with a connection to a crime, a description of the suspect vehicle, the means of locating stolen property, a lead to missing persons investigations, a connection between otherwise unrelated incidents, and a potential timeline of vehicle activity."For More Information Please Visit www.nrtoday.com
One man is another is in custody after an apparent homicide that took place in Lookingglass on Sunday.Undersheriff Brad O’Dell of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said at approximately 3:45 p.m. 911 dispatchers received a call from 57-year-old Matthew William Bronsert requesting assistance at a residence in the 7000 block of Lookingglass Road. O’Dell said Bronsert lived on the property in an outbuilding. When deputies arrived, they were able to convince Bronsert to come outside to talk with them. O’Dell said Bronsert eventually came out of the residence just after 5:50 p.m. At that time, he allegedly attempted to assault a deputy and was taken into custody. Deputies noted that Bronsert had blood on his clothing, which prompted them to conduct a welfare check on another male at the property.O’Dell said when deputies entered the residence, they located a deceased adult male inside of the main residence with multiple gunshot wounds. The nature of the death appeared to be of foul play. The victim's name is being withheld pending next-of-kin notification.Bronsert was later questioned and admitted to shooting the victim. He is held on twelve charges including second-degree murder, three counts of attempting to assault a public safety officer, resisting arrest, unlawful use of a weapon and four counts of improper use of 911. Bronsert is detained without bail.For More Information Please Visit www.nrtoday.com

GLENDALE — The Crosspoint Christian School football team defeated Glendale 42-6 on Friday in a Special District 1 game in Glendale."We didn't keep our heads down. We pushed through the whole entire game and ended up scoring our last drive, last seconds of the game, but other than that, it was a hard-fighting game," Glendale junior Landon Cline said.The Pirates (2-3, 1-1 SD1) suffered against a Warrior team that is highly skilled in the backfield, according to Glendale head coach Zack Reid. The Pirates had a problem keeping blocks up."We didn't roll over on them. We made the starters come back towards the end of the game so we couldn't punch it in. We like seeing that," Reid said.Reid said he liked how the Pirates did not give up and game back in the second half stronger. The team did a better job of running down the middle and getting first downs in the second half, moving the ball further. Cline said the team knew heading into Friday that it would be a challenge and while they didn't come out on top, the fight they put up still counts as a success.For More Information Please Visit www.nrtoday.com
