Officer Michael J. Cognasso (314) 318-0521 (pager)

Could this be the result of calls placed to Capt. Hobbs to complain about Officer Tom Hickel not patrolling Cherokee Street?.  Yes, many outraged Cherokee St. stakeholders placed calls to Capt. Hobbs to complain about Tom Hickel. 

Welcome Officer Cognasso! Look forward to meeting you, and seeing you during our business association meetings.  Thank you Capt. Hobbs for listening and taking action.
