Police Report

Police Chief Mike Grant sent the following thank you note message to CERT, Neighborhood Watch and the Community Service unit teams: "In light of the events in Dallas, Texas, I wanted you and all of our volunteers to know how much I and my officers appreciate the support that we have from our community and volunteers. It allows us to continue on doing our jobs, without hesitation. These are very challenging times for law enforcement across the nation. Your support, words of encouragement, and willingness to be part of our team makes all the difference in the world. Thank you!"

CERT

Fire season has descended upon our mountain communities. When we are asked to deploy for a wild-land fire, communication is the key from that first call to activate to the de-brief after the incident. On Wednesday July 6, the CERT team held a meeting to practice their radio skills. Team Leader Sandy Young reminded the group, " We must continue to practice, practice, practice and "grow" our communication skills for when we experience that inevitable disaster."

The Neighborhood Watch
