The council voted Tuesday night to transfer the rights of You Have Options, to the detective who started it at the Ashland Police Department.
Ashland City Councilor Rich Rosenthal says it’s a move that’s best for everyone.
“Our needs have changed in that we really do need to have that full-time detective position back,” Rosenthal says, “and she would like to continue with that program and it really made sense for her to go off on her own and continue that program.”
Detective Carrie Hull will leave APD at the end of June. She’ll then focus all her efforts on expanding her program through a private company.
Executive Producer Kristin Hosfelt anchors NBC5 News weeknights at 5 and 6. Originally from the Bay Area, Kristin earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Broadcast Journalism from San Jose State University.
She came to KOBI-TV/NBC5 from Bangor, Maine where she was the evening news anchor. Kristin has won multiple journalism awards including Best Feature Reporting in the State of Maine. In 2017, her investigation on lead pipes in Medford’s water system was named Best News Series by the Oregon Association of Broadcasters.
When Kristin is not sharing the news, she’s traveling, hunting down the best burrito, or buried in a Jodi Picoult novel. She’s also a Green Bay Packers shareholder; if you see her out and about she’d be happy to tell you the story of how a California girl became a cheesehead.
