POLICE AND FIRE CHIEFS TAKE THEIR CASE BEFORE "CRIME & DINE"
******************************************************************** Rounding out major presentations by City leaders will be Chief of Police Rick Braziel and Fire Chief Ray Jones who will speak at the February 26 luncheon meeting of Crime & Dine. This will be an open forum (two-way discussion) on what their departments are doing to maintain emergency services. In addition, they will discuss the impacts of fewer staff, the economy’s impact on the Power Inn police patrols, what is being done to prevent further cuts, how tough economic times affect the crime rate, and what we can do as a community.
Sponsored by L and D Landfill and hosted at Sacramento Recycling and Transfer Station, this is the first of three Crime & Dines planned for the year. “They always draw a good crowd,” said Security and Crime Abatement Committee Chairman Tom Burruss. “In the Business Walk of 2008, we found that local business owners cited crime as one of their top concerns, so this luncheon is usually a sell-out.” In addition, District 6 Lt. Mike Bray will compare local crime statistics for the past FOURyears.
Crime & Dine tickets, which include lunch, are $10 for members and $15 for nonmembers. Reservations are a must. Call or email Dawn Carlson at 453-8888 or dawn@powerinn.org.
