As a client serving down range at the Marcus Palace Cinema in Sun Prairie, Wis., Bradley Burt met a cook by the name of Jason Cain and the two discussed a program called “MarcusQRF” that requested the company offer an incentive for upstanders.
The company rejected the idea. Now, Mayor Steve Stocker and Bradley Burt have spoken and exchanged business cards during the Tues. Oct. 7, meeting sharing the planning of a public safety anonymous tip reporting outlet called #SunPrairieQRF.
The project is an archive and data-driven micro local news reporting station operating through the registered trademark reporting style of Outpost 422, the author’s intellectual property development with class projects and volunteerism as a student veteran who attends the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee at Madison College. The author combines the University of Wisconsin-Madison Watchdog 101 workshop news reporting style with an Op-Expose format as the inventor of a convergent media interactive news connect between citizen and journalist.
Mayor Stocker gave the author his business card and as of Nov. 7, 2025, #SunPraireQRF is set to launch as a pandemic news reporting mockup by recording the material from home and broadcasting through FM radio as a podumentary invention working in the film industry.
Subject: Public Safety Awareness and PSA Collaboration
Good morning, Mayor Stocker,
I hope this message finds you well.
Since my October public comment at the City Council meeting, I’ve been working on launching the public safety campaign on X/Twitter, and I’d like to share the attached PSA with you. Earlier this week, I dropped off my show’s hard drive to Collin Lessig, who mentioned that scheduling details are still being finalized.
Talking About Stalking in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin
At this stage, I don’t yet have a confirmed date or time for the program’s launch. In the meantime, would you consider including the PSA in your newsletter or sharing it through any public safety-related channels?
When I receive public safety-related information, I plan to report it to you in a way that protects the identity of individuals who share tips—for example, by referencing that “Bob Cobb sent x, y, z.” I’ve cc’d Collin on this message and would appreciate being included on any public safety communications your office distributes. My goal is to help translate those updates into short podcasts and posts for X/Twitter to promote awareness.
Inspired by Sheep, Wolves, and Sheepdogs by Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, this project—The Expositor—aims to build community engagement through the Blue Star Program and the McGruff the Crime Dog initiative. The message emphasizes that Sun Prairie remains “Sun Prairie Strong,” reflecting our shared commitment to safety and resilience.
This issue is deeply personal to me, as I have firsthand experience with stalking and its effects on families. As a 10th Mountain Division veteran of Operation Uphold Democracy, a father, and a longtime community member, I hope to collaborate with your office and the Sun Prairie Media Center to foster a positive, ethical, and supportive dialogue around public safety.
Much of this initiative draws on my background from the Whitewater Citizen’s Police Academy and my time reporting for the Royal Purple at the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater. The #SunPrairieQRF project is part of an independent study focused on empowering citizen journalists and promoting “upstander” awareness within our community.
Thank you for your time and continued leadership. I look forward to the possibility of working together to strengthen our city’s safety initiatives.
Respectfully,
Outpost 422
