Safety Alerts

Officers at our monthly police officer lunches suggest keep alert, walk with friends, preset mobile phones to 911. These are easy tricks to have up your sleeve.  We hope you won’t need to use them, but good safety measures.   Check the Calender for monthly Civic Relations Police Lunch.
