This log was recorded by Jon Garfield on January 5, 1997, Monday, late night.

>[Police Department, Squad Room]
The yellowed tile floor and fluorescent lighting of this room serve to highlight everything 
in a harsh brilliance.  A few officers diligently sit at their desks working on what appear 
to be reports, while the rest of the room's occupants stand around and make idle chit chat.  
From the back of the room comes the quiet and assured voice of the dispatcher, which somehow 
manages to be heard above the rhythmical thunking of an out-of-whack copier laboring to 
complete its job.  You also see a black leather briefcase, Detective Inspector Jude Gibson, 
a legal envelope, a brown envelope, a narrow stairway leading down and Detective Sergeant 
Maureen Mullaney.
Also in the room: Kat Lobonegro, Corinne Baltimore, Kim Canella who is seated, 
Gina Farrelll who is seated, Jasmine Cronin who is seated, Kara McLoud who is seated, 
Felix Frost who is seated, Miles Bukowski who is seated, Kei Milano who is seated, Jean Jameison, 
Lisa Stone, Sara McGyver who is seated, Julie Green, Dax Smulder, Cole MacGruder, 
Elizabeth Dashwood
