Bogo: *clears throat* In the interest of protecting the identities of the parties involved as well as those who may or may not be underage from any sort of future targeting by relations to these criminal elements, I can neither confirm nor deny any involvement in these cases by 'middle-schoolers' as you called them.
I will only go on to state that a talented volunteer team, whose services were unsolicited by any currently active branch of the ZPD or Zootopian Military Reserve, proved to be a valuable asset in terms of bringing to our attention pressing information that allowed the proper authorities to step in and do their job. And while we don't condone just how involved these particular mammals got with the cases you listed, we expect all diligent citizens of our fair city to report suspicious activity or recognized criminals to us so that it can be properly investigated.
And finally, while we have made...significant leaps within the last few months regarding several arguably cold cases the ZPD had been struggling with, make no mistake that the actions of 'middle schoolers' in no way *cough* *Dabs brow with a hoof* Pardon me. As I was saying...there were no 'middle schoolers' involved in said breakthroughs discovered regarding these cases. Most of these revelations can be attributed to our pair of star officers, Luietanant Hopps and Officer Wilde, who cracked these cases with diligent, unceasing and tireless work...
*Places hoof to his forehead and swabs.*
And certainly not by a seven-year-old junior detective who happened to be sleeping over at the home of Lieutenant Hopps for a weekend and in fact...*Cough* stumbled into Lieutenant Hopp's office while she was sleeping, studied the files left out, and cracked the cases herself as...some rumors may have suggested...
Leanne Stripesly: I...actually hadn't heard that rumor...
Bogo: *Nervously* Oh it's out there! *Cough* I've heard it...I'm surprised you haven't!*Chuckles awkwardly* Ridiculous isn't it...really... nine-year-old solving cold cases...Pah...*Shakes head and begins to mumble* If those cases had ended up on my desk I could have solved them just as easily as she did...
Leanna Stripesly: I'm sorry...what was that Chief?
Bogo: As easily as Hopps solved them! *Laughs uncomfortably* I mean, I do have to leave some cases for my officers to solve after all...can't keep them all to myself...I *laughs* I don't have that kind of time...
Clawhauser: *Leaning in and whispering to Bogo.* Pull up sir...it's time to pull up.
Bogo: *Grumbles quietly* It was time to pull up several minutes ago... I'm already a debris field...
Clawhauser: *Still whispering* Oh, and Judy called, she says 'she' solved another one...
Bogo: *slaps hoof over his face* Simba save us...
