The
presentation on the evening of October 6th was the 30th
annual event for the organization. It was held at the plush Renaissance
Hotel and Resort's
Conference Center located near the University of Phoenix stadium in
Glendale Arizona.
Sharpe
said, "There's more people involved in making "The
Laura Graff Hit and Run Accident - Search For The Driver"
and other news segments than you see on the surface. It's not
just me!"
Sharpe added,
"Many people have taken time to teach me videography,
editing, writing, ethics in journalism and appreciated are the people
that were great sounding boards to discuss ideas with... fantastic were
family members that put up with me working all hours to get the job
done... lets not forget the patient subjects as well we had for
interviews when we started out our careers. Indeed! these are all
the people who won this Emmy® Award as well."
Glendale
Police Chief Steven Conrad stated: "I would like to congratulate
Ed on his latest Emmy! Ed is committed to providing our community
with information about the efforts of public safety. This is video
is a great example of a great police-media relationship."

Department PIO -Officer Matt Barnett shown in a screen from the
call for information put out over Glendale Daily Planet / KKAT-IPTV.
We are still looking for the
SUV responsible for the Hit and Run accident involving Laura
Graff and her motorcycle which took place on
the evening of September 23, 2006 at 7:00 pm.
What the Video was
about:
• Description On the evening of
September 23, 2006 at 7:00 pm, Glendale firefighters responded to a car
and motorcycle crash involving Laura Graff, a 24-year-old Glendale
woman.
She was riding her motorcycle at
59th Avenue and Mercer Lane in Glendale Arizona. They found Graff barely
clinging to life from the severe injuries caused by hit and run driver.
The driver of the vehicle that hit Laura fled the scene. This footage
was the first reporting of the event and a call for witnesses to help
locate this driver. This driver remains unidentified.
Unlike a traditional
television newscast, this production with it's call for information
narrated by Glendale Police PIO Matt Barnett, still remains online
shadowing the perpetrator... someday they will be identified. Laura
Graff survived and is undergoing therapy to overcome the effects of her
injuries. You may also see the ceremony whereas she awarded the fire
fighters, ambulance drivers and hospital trauma personal for helping
save her life in an article at http://www.glendaledailyplanet.com/
