We now utilize our various platforms to notify residents, businesses, and visitors of incidents occurring in the community and provide them with “real time” much needed public safety information. Our patrol officers also utilize social media for other purposes, such as locating missing people/pets, road closure information, and community outreach event reminders. 2018 saw the addition of a new patrol officer to the ranks.

He was a former police reserve officer and was selected as our newest officer following a lengthy selection process that was open to both internal and external candidates. Officer Gerbino is eager and excited to serve in his hometown community.
