Your constants have been action on traffic safety, drugs, truancy, safety training, violence, minors, and audiovisual piracy, and attending to those citizens who have sought help.” The mayor went on to wish the officers and their families a happy holiday and reiterated the city’s continued commitment to and affection for its Local Police force.
For details of Three Kings’ parades in your town, contact your town hall’s culture department. In many towns, the Kings’ postman has already visited schools to pick up wish-lists from the children ready to deliver to the Three Kings ahead of January 5.
