24th Police District gets new captain

This article ran on Page 7 in the March 11 issue of The Fishtown Spirit, where I work as a writer and copy editor.
Captain Daniel Castro is the new leader of the 24th District
An old marketing campaign for the Fraternal Order of Police featured a poster depicting a wounded police officer in front his squad car. “You wouldn’t do it for a million bucks,” the poster read, “but we do it for a whole lot less,”
Two decades and several slain police officers later, Captain Daniel Castro of the 24th District knows that statement is truer than ever. With just three weeks at the 24th under his belt, Castro is vowing to do all he can to bring the communities together and make them safer for the residents and the officers who patrol them.
