He served on the Middle School Building Committee and the Wayland Town Meeting Study Committee, and he volunteers at MIT’s Venture Mentoring Service. He has a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from M.I.T, and retired in 2003 after a 33-year career in the high-tech industry. He is married to Margret Krakauer, an artist who teaches art courses to adults through Wayland Park and Recreation, and their two daughters were educated in the Wayland public school system. Dr. Krakauer generally uses his middle initial “J”, as there are two unrelated Wayland residents named “Lawrence Krakauer”.

Hi, is there any possibility that you can investigate how we can get the police department to start publishing its police log, crime log, police blotter or whatever they want to call it? Nearby towns all have one and Wayland used to have one. I called the police dept and they referred me to an app they recommend which pushes out alerts. The app is worthless and is no substitute for a police log. I also emailed the town manager who forwarded my email to the Chief who then never answered me. Some towns have a newspaper like this one which publishes it. I dont care how we get it as long as we get an updated police log. thanks.
