We’re grateful for the opportunity to host a course like this and provide valuable training to our local first responders!

Earlier this evening, officers responded to a report in the Center Hill area. Out of caution, residents were asked to remain inside briefly while the situation was checked. At this time, the area is clear and everyone is safe to resume normal activities. We appreciate the cooperation and patience of our residents.
