About NewsManatee At a time when the only local news available to Manatee County residents is from local newspapers and out-of-county television stations, a Manatee County news group, NewsManatee, has been formed specifically for the purpose of producing and delivering up-to-the-minute online crime and public safety news to educate the general public regarding current events in their communities. It is our goal to create a better understanding of such matters. NewsManatee.com is a digest of local crime news, including Manatee, Sarasota and other counties, in Florida, USA, also incorporating the day's top national and world news stories, and other information "for, from and about Manatee County, Florida, USA."-- a public service. Scattered throughout our pages you will find text, photos, and links. We hope you find NewsManatee.com useful for your daily update of top events here and around the nation and the world, and breaking news here and elsewhere. Mike Quinn, President of NewsManatee, said the group makes overnight crime and public safety news, along with current traffic and weather conditions, available on a daily basis. NewsManatee is state-of-the-art. We are online with the Florida Highway Patrol, and with the Manatee County Emergency Operations Center. EOC supplies NewsManatee with National Weather Service information for Manatee County whenever necessary. And, in the event of a weather emergency, weve been chosen once again by EOC to give the residents of Manatee County frequent, if not constant updates on weather conditions, road closures, evacuation instructions, shelter openings, and so forth. NewsManatee will be online 24-7 if necessary. Just click on the links on our Home Page. NewsManatee works closely with local law enforcement agencies who send significant occurrences such as bank robberies, home invasions, armed robberies, homicides and other major crimes to NewsManatee as soon as the report becomes available. We do not report minor crimes. Also as a public service, NewsManatee gathers the top stories from the Nation and the World from the Associated Press, CNN, the American Foreign Press, MSNBC, Fox News, and other sources, and delivers it in digest form, for your convenience in understanding the World-at-large today, from a Crime and Public Safety viewpoint.
