The City of Long Beach Animal Care Services Bureau (ACS) invites the community to its 2018 Open House and Dog Play Yard Ribbon Cutting on Saturday, February 17, 2018, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The event will be held at the animal shelter located at 7700 E. Spring Street, Long Beach, CA 90815. No RSVP is necessary. Everyone is welcome to attend. “Over the past few years, ACS has made tremendous strides to increase lifesaving efforts for shelter animals, and provide spay and neuter assistance to the community,” said Mayor Robert Garcia. “This open house event is a great opportunity for us to celebrate how far we’ve come as a pet friendly community and to look forward to further progress in the next year.” During the ACS Open House, awards for outstanding groups and volunteers will be presented along with an overview of the past years’ accomplishments and highlights. Additionally, information regarding exciting new opportunities in 2018 will be provided. Immediately following the presentation, the new Dog Play Yard will be officially open and attendees can watch the new doggie play group program in ac-
tion. The new doggie play group program is geared towards providing enrichment for the dogs under the care of ACS to keep them from becoming overly stressed and to help make them more adoptable. It is still in its early stages and is currently not open for public viewing with an exception of the program display at the Dog Play Yard ribbon cutting. Information on volunteering, spay and neuter programs, animal care and all ACS programs will be available. "ACS continually strives to keep the community safe for people and pets. As part of this mission, we are excited to open our new play yard for our four-legged friends currently residing with us” says Marie Knight, Director of Parks, Recreation and Marine. “We look forward to sharing all of the 2017 highlights with the community.” For more information on this or other ACS opportunities, please visit www.longbeach.gov/acs or call (562) 570-PETS (7387).

Driving Under the Influence in San Bernardino County
On February 12, 2018, Deputy M. Martinez, from the Victorville Police Department, was on a public service call near the intersection of Hesperia Road and Chalon Road. Martinez was getting in his marked patrol unit when he saw a large SUV quickly approaching from behind. He was able to run to the front of the patrol vehicle and get to the shoulder of the road, just before the passenger side mirror of the 2000 Ford Ex-
pedition hit the driver’s side mirror of his marked patrol vehicle. The driver of the Expedition, Veronica Calvert, did not stop at the scene and continued to drive at a high rate of speed, northbound on Hesperia Road. Deputy Martinez returned to his vehicle and conducted a traffic stop at Hesperia Road, near Seneca Road. Calvert was determined to be driving under the influ-
ence. She was arrested at the scene and booked into the High Desert Detention Center. The deputy was not injured. Anyone with information about this investigation is asked to contact the Victorville Police Department at (760) 241-2911. Callers wishing to remain anonymous are urged to call the We-Tip Hotline at 1-800-78CRIME (27463).
