I agree, I love the Police Beat headlines on The Batavian. Even though the punctuation is a dead give away I always find myself expecting some scandalous story to follow.

I've been debating about changing the format just because so many people find it ... confusing or something.

Maybe just "Blotter: Headline."

Though technically, it's not a really, by a strict definition, a "police blotter."
