What's Up in Stallion Springs?

• The Stallion Springs Police Department recently received a new patrol car. The car, a 2007 Ford Interceptor, was provided through the Interagency Exchange at no cost to the department. The car was repainted and new decals added at a cost of just $1,500. The car now supplements the current two Ford Explorers being used for patrol.

• The department interviewed several residents for their new citizen volunteer program to assist the police department in performing their duties.

Successful applicants go on to attend a four-day training course and then begin performing a variety of duties. Some of these duties will be administrative in nature, such as data entry and filling out reports. Other duties will be more physical in nature, such as assisting with traffic control, searching for evidence and transporting equipment or persons, as needed by the department.

• The Police Activities League (PAL) held its first Open House on March 22. Community Organizations participating are the CERT Team, Neighborhood Watch, Property Owners Association, Parks and Recreation, 4 H, the Library, and PAL. These organizations had displays and information for attendees. The PAL Judo classes gave demonstrations. There were booths for robotics, Judo, and CPR class sign-ups.
