I am really am Grace Kelly. I am citizen journalist and an MBA student. I know about local policing because I write on that topic. I noticed that Wiki is missing information on some important influential people like Matt Bostrom. Matt Bostrom is important because he is a leader for other Sheriffs and Police Chiefs. His work is copied and emulated. He is a popular speaker as well as a professor. He is interviewed on television, written up in the state newspapers, cited as an expert and testifies before the state legislature. When I searched for "Matt Bostrom" on wiki, I was surprised to not find an entry. I resolved to do something about that. It took me more than a year to finally get around to it. I had planned on more. Apparently I have to have more history before I can upload pictures. Do note that I passed the proposed text past Sheriff Bostrom before I posted it, to check accuracy as well as checking cited sources.

If this is not considered a notable person, please advise on what you are missing. You have Joe Arpaio listed in wiki. This Sheriff Matt Bostrom has the positive popularity equivalent.Thegracekelly (talk) 06:49, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here are all the reasons that Sheriff Matt Bostrom is notable:

1) Sheriff Bostrom is in an elected area that is almost exactly the same as US Representative Betty McCollum. This entirely urban county contains the capital of Minnesota, St Paul as well as being half the Twin Cities of Minnesota. Sheriff Bostrom was the head of local security for Republican National Convention that happened in St Paul in 2008. Even his election to Sheriff is noteworthy because 4 term incumbents do not get beaten by 14%.

2) Sheriff Bostrom is noted opinion leader on community policing, civil rights and homeland security. He is interviewed on TPT Almanac and MPR as well as short segments on local TV news. He has had several articles written about him in the major newspapers, numerous citations in other articles, many articles in local blogs and several articles in the community papers. He speaks in front of community groups. He has been the keynote speaker at events.

3) Concurrently he is a professor who teaches and publishes papers!

4) Sheriff Bostrom is a leader in law enforcement. He testifies before the state legislature. His policies on gun rights have been directly copied by other sheriffs.

Now according to the wiki documentation that I read, that all makes him notable. Thegracekelly (talk) 07:44, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
