February criminal cases continue to be reducing in numbers from previous years. Still a major crime is Identity Theft and credit card fraud. We continue to warn everyone to be a watchful of credit and debit card accounts. Report any suspicious activity immediately to your financial institution and to law enforcement. When using cards, be cautious that people around you cannot see your personal identification numbers. Cell phones with cameras are a favorite way criminal obtain your information. We thank the community for its cooperation in reporting suspicious activities. Calls for service continued to increase this past month. Again we remind people that should you be traveling and away from home, please stop in the police department and fill out a house check form.
The signage for the new golf cart ordinance is here. The street department has ordered locates for any underground utilities so the signs can be installed as weather permits. Anyone having questions or wanting a copy of the ordinance, which includes required lighting and safety equipment, can pick one up at the police department or town hall.
Vehicle crashes were increased in number for the second month in a row. The snow and ice conditions contributed to these numbers. Hopefully the weather will soon improve. Please always remember to wear safety restraints and drive defensively.
March 26th is Drug Disposable Day. You can bring your unused and outdated over the counter or prescriptions medications to the police department between 8 am and noon to be disposed of.
