The holidays are filled with traditions. One tradition we need to all work together to change is that the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is traditionally the deadliest day of the year on the roadways. Our officers want to see everyone arrive safely at their destination. The holidays should be a time filled with family and special memories. We are requesting you to do your part by driving the speed limit, wearing your seat-belt, allowing the proper following distance, putting away your electronic devices, and choosing not to drink and drive. Red ribbons are available in our lobby as part of the "Tie one on for safety" campaign if you would like to pick one up. A reminder for people to drive safe and use a sober driver through the holidays. Thank you for doing your part to make our roadways safer for everyone. We hope you enjoy a safe and happy holiday!

Post from Gary Vande Velde (Friday, November 10, 2017). I just want to thank all the police officers and veterans for your service. It was a honor to be in the same room with you guys as a dog catcher. Stay safe and God Bless. 🇺🇸

Post from Beckie Baker (Monday, November 13, 2017): Just wanted to thank you for escorting the Golden Regiment to the school last night. I can tell you that you made the kids feel so special and appreciated. It was the perfect ending to an exciting but exhausting weekend. Thank you!!
