The perpetrators are entering the vehicles and with expert precision removing the inspection stickers from the windshield of the vehicles. Residents are urged to contact police and report any suspicious activity. ICE - In Case of Emergency
The Police Department is asking residents to use their cell phones as a way of supplying emergency responders with information that could be lifesaving. Program and store the person you would like to be contacted in an emergency situation in your cell phone with the word ICE. The word ICE can be with a name or alone. You
may store more than one number. Simply denote them as ICE 1, ICE 2, etc. It is also recommended that you make index cards with important information
(ICE numbers, medical conditions, medications, physicians name, and allergies). Place the cards near your home phones and keep one in your wallet. When emergency personnel respond to a medical emergency, it is
imperative that they have this information. |
