Officer Ryan Yudt and K9 Dozer - Noteworthy Canine Deployments 300 hours of training Officer Yudt and K9 Dozer initially received, they are also required to attend annual training and certify regularly in these areas of expertise.

A typical day of training for Officer Yudt and K9 Dozer consists of tracking, narcotic detection, searching for persons in buildings, and much more. Training is designed to expose Officer Yudt and K9 Dozer to unique and challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, better preparing them for their daily duties in the City of Farmington Hills.

Here are just a few examples of Officer Yudt and K9 Dozer’s recent work for the Police Department:

Farmington Hills Police Department K9 Officer Ryan Yudt and his partner Dozer look forward to seeing members of the public again after the end of the pandemic. But in the meantime, they have remained busy and involved in some important police work.

Officer Yudt and his K9 Dozer are certified by the National Association of Professional Canine Handlers (NAPCH) and the K9 Advanced Training Facility (K9ATF).

• Missing Child Track - To assist in locating a missing child, Officer Yudt and K9 Dozer responded to the scene and actively tracked the presence of human odor.

Due to the successful track completed by the K9 Team, the child was returned home unharmed, approximately 45 minutes after being reported missing.

• Unlawful Entry - Officer Yudt and K9 Dozer responded to an alarm activation and checked exterior doors and windows, soon discovering an unlocked entry door. No vehicles were observed in the parking lot, leading Officer Yudt to believe that anyone inside the building would not be authorized. Officer

Farmington Hills Police K9 Dozer wants to remind everyone to

Yudt made several announcements instructing anyone inside to come out.

These announcements went unanswered.

Officer Yudt deployed Dozer to search for anyone hiding. After a short time, Dozer barked and scratched at a door indicating someone might be inside. The subject was detained, and it was learned the person had gained entry to hide out in the building. Dozer’s ability to search buildings allows Officers to check large structures quickly and provide protection to responding Officers by warning them of hiding suspects.

• Narcotic Seizure - Officer Yudt and K9 Dozer assisted a DEA Task Force Group in executing a search warrant at a residence in a neighboring community. Together they were tasked with searching the residence for hidden narcotics where they found a concealed shoebox that contained 497 grams of heroin with an estimated street value of $75,000.

• Armed Robbery Track - Officer Yudt and K9 Dozer were called to assist Southfield police officers in their search for an armed robbery suspect who fled on foot from the scene of the crime.

Free Deterra At-Home Drug Disposal Pouches Available to Residents The Farmington Hills Police Department and the Farmington Public Safety Department have partnered with Beaumont’s Healthy FarmingtonFarmington Hills Coalition to offer residents an easy way to dispose of unneeded or expired medications safely and conveniently at home. Residents may receive one free Deterra pouch per person from the Farmington Hills Police Department at 31655 W. Eleven Mile Road and the Farmington Public Safety Department at 23600 Liberty Street.

Deterra is safe for the environment and helps keep drugs out of the water system. It is recommended that drugs NOT be disposed of in toilets or sinks since pharmaceuticals have reportedly been found in sewage, surface water, and ground water. Most importantly, Deterra helps keep unneeded medications away from teens and young adults. The National Safety Council reports that teens are more likely to abuse prescription drugs than illegal street drugs, with 70% of them getting drugs through friends or relatives.

Using a simple three-step process, the Deterra Drug Deactivation System permanently deactivates any medication including opioids. Each Deterra pouch has a water-soluble inner pod containing activated carbon. Drugs are placed in the pouch, warm water is added, then the pouch is sealed, shaken, and disposed of in the regular trash. Each pouch deactivates 45 pills, six ounces of cream or liquid, or six patches, rendering them inert and nonretrievable. As a safety precaution, Deterra should be kept out of the reach of children and pets as the medication is deactivated.

The Farmington Hills Police Department and the Farmington Public Safety Department also participate in Operation Medicine Cabinet, where anyone may use the drop box in the lobby available 24/7 to dispose of prescription pills. Participants are asked to leave their names with officers at the Command Desk, who will deposit the pills in an envelope before putting them in the drop box. Operation Medicine Cabinet does not accept liquids, creams, or patches, which can all be disposed of in the Deterra pouches.

To learn more about Deterra, go to www. deterrasystem.com or watch a YouTube video at https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=V1RxmAMWKOU. This program was made possible through support from the Beaumont Greater Farmington Youth Substance Abuse Coalition. For more information, contact Kari Woloszyk at 313-244-1412 or Kari.

FIRE department Look Before You Lock!

YOU Can Prevent a Tragedy and Keep Kids Safe The Farmington Hills Fire Department and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) remind everyone to Keep Kids Safe - Look Before You Lock! Every year, children die of heatstroke because they were left or became trapped in a hot car.

Parents, caregivers, and bystanders all play a role in helping to make sure another tragedy doesn’t happen.

Everyone Can Help — Including Bystanders •

• •

If you see a child alone in a locked car, get them out immediately and call 911. A child in heat distress should be removed from the vehicle as quickly as possible and rapidly cooled.

Always lock your car doors and trunk year-round, so children can’t get into unattended vehicles.

Store car keys out of a child’s reach and teach children that a vehicle is not a play area.

The Farmington Hills Fire Department asks everyone to follow these tips and learn how to help prevent a tragedy.

Open Burning Restrictions in the City of Farmington Hills Many people enjoy the ambiance of an outdoor campfire, but please be aware that the City ordinance only allows for small recreational fires at single family homes. These fires must be contained in a semi-enclosed device approved for burning and only seasoned firewood can be used. There must be a reasonable clearance between the fire and power lines or any structures, and a source of water or a portable fire extinguisher must be kept nearby.

Never use flammable liquids such as gasoline to start a fire! nhtsa.gov/heatstroke

Know the Facts • •

A child’s body temperature rises three to five times faster than an adult’s. When left inside a hot vehicle, a child can die within minutes.

Heatstroke begins when the core body temperature reaches about 104 degrees; a core body temperature of about 107 degrees is lethal.

Prevent Hot Car Deaths • • • • •

88

Never leave a child in a vehicle unattended, even if the windows are partially open or the engine is running and the air conditioning is on.

Make it a habit to check your entire vehicle — front and back — before locking the door and walking away. Train yourself to Park, Look, Lock, or always ask yourself “Where’s Baby?”

Ask your childcare provider to call if your child doesn’t show up for care as expected.

Place a personal item like a purse or briefcase in the back seat as another reminder to Look Before You Lock.

Write a note or place a stuffed animal in the passenger seat to remind you that a child is in the back seat.

The Farmington Hills Fire Department reminds residents that spring cleanup does not include the burning of yard waste. In accordance with the City Ordinance, open burning of yard waste is strictly prohibited since it can easily lead to a variety of unintended and unfortunate accidents ranging from personal injury to property loss. In addition to yard waste, the City also prohibits the burning of dimensional lumber or any other construction materials.

If the Fire Department does have to respond to your home due to problems with an open burn, you may be ticketed or you may receive a cost recovery invoice to cover costs associated with responding to your violation.

Some open burn fires may require a written permit from the Fire Department. Campfires and other outdoor fires used by educational, religious, charitable, or governmental agencies for recreational purposes or ceremonial occasions may be allowed, provided that no noxious odors or smoke are generated and there has been prior approval from the Fire Department.

Applications for fire permits may be made through the Fire Prevention Division by calling 248-871-2820 during regular business hours.

Tips on Proper Disposal of Hot Ashes and Coals Did you know that ashes and coals from fires and grills can remain hot enough to start a fire for many days after you think the fire is out? Fire Department investigations have determined that multiple home fires in Farmington Hills have been caused by the improper disposal of ashes or coals.

The exact amount of time needed for complete extinguishment and cooling depends on many factors such as how hot the fire was, what materials were burning, or how much unburned fuel remains. To be extra safe, treat all ashes and coals as if they are hot, even if you think they’ve had enough time to cool.

Follow these recommendations from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA): •

If possible, allow ashes and coals to cool for several days in the area where you had the fire. These devices are designed to contain heat safely.

When it’s time to dispose of ashes or coals, transfer them to a metal container and wet them down.

Keep the metal container outside your home and away from any combustibles until the refuse is hauled away.

DO NOT place any other combustible materials in the metal container.

DO NOT ever use a combustible container.

• • • •

If you have questions regarding open burning or the disposal of ashes and coals, please call the Fire Prevention Division at 248-871-2820.

Additionally, it is unlawful to discharge fireworks if a fireworks ban has been implemented by the Fire Chief due to dry conditions.

Peddlers/solicitors are not permitted on property with these signs. Similar signage may also be posted at subdivision entrances.

Please be advised that State Law dictates that peddling/soliciting cannot be prohibited within the City, however, licensed peddlers/solicitors must adhere to City ordinance requirements.

Complaints regarding any peddler/ solicitor should be directed to the Police Department at 248-871-2600. It is helpful if you can provide the name and/or organization for which the person was peddling/soliciting and your address or subdivision name.

Cross Connection Control Inspections. Prevent Contamination The Oakland County Water Resources Commissioner’s Office (WRC), in conjunction with the City of Farmington Hills, performs annual routine Cross Connection Control inspections at homes and businesses to help protect and maintain safe drinking water.

These required annual inspections help eliminate and prevent contaminants from entering the public water system via the reversal of normal water flow direction, known as “backflow.”

To stop this potential contamination of drinkable water, backflow prevention devices are required where drinkable water connects to sources of nondrinkable water. Regular inspections of these backflow prevention devices ensure the protection of public drinking water.

Whenever a potable (drinkable) water system connects with a non-potable environment, reverse pressure or backflow may occur. This can be caused by water main breaks, hydrants opened for firefighting, power outages, or undersized piping. These situations can cause water powered sump pumps, underground lawn sprinklers, boilers, fire sprinklers, swimming pools, or even outside hose spigots to force potentially contaminated water back into the drinkable water supply if left unprotected.

• Examine the connections where water flow could suddenly reverse.

To prevent cross connection and backflow with potential contamination at your home or business:

• Install inexpensive hose connection vacuum breakers on outside spigots (also called hose bibbs).

• Install backflow prevention devices that reduce pressure on lawn sprinklers, swimming pools, boilers, and fire sprinkler systems.

of drinking water, you will receive a letter informing you of any required backflow prevention device installations and/or testing approximately 30 days prior to the due date. Any repairs, installation, and/or testing are the responsibility of the homeowner or business and must be performed by a certified tester. Many backflow prevention devices must be tested annually to ensure that internal seals, springs, and moving parts are working properly and not in need of repair.

For more information, go to oakgov. com/crossconnection or contact the WRC at: • Residential customers: 248-858-1431 • Commercial customers: 248-858-9387 • Via email at wrccrossconnection@ oakgov.com

If an inspection by WRC staff shows that you have an unprotected cross connection with potential contamination

Maintaining a Safe Water System in Farmington Hills Maintaining and ensuring safe and highquality drinking water has always been a priority in the City of Farmington Hills.

As the provider of drinking water in Farmington Hills, the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) continues to provide unquestionable water quality throughout the region. They remain committed to ensuring our water supply not only meets but exceeds all regulatory standards by testing the water multiple times daily. In addition, the Oakland County Water Resources Commissioner (WRC) has licensed water operators that are required by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) to monitor lead and copper in the City’s water system.

Farmington Hills compiles an Annual Water Quality Report with data received from samples collected by the Great Lakes Water Authority, the Water Resources Commission, and water customers. This Consumer Confidence Report is available on the City website at www.fhgov.com.

To further demonstrate its commitment to water quality, the City has recently created a new Water System Advisory Council. The group meets twice annually to review water quality testing results and work toward educating residents of potential lead in drinking water and the associated health risks.

Residents can be assured that there is NO lead and copper found in the source water and no known lead service lines (the pipe that connects your home to the street’s watermain) in the Farmington Hills water system. But water quality is a shared responsibility between the City and its residents. The plumbing inside each home is privately owned and maintained by the homeowner.

If lead is found to be present in drinking water, it is typically from the corrosion of materials and/or components associated

94

with lead service lines or plumbing inside the home. Especially if you have an older home, it is suggested that you verify the type of plumbing material you may have in your own home.

Regardless of the plumbing material in your home, if you have water quality concerns you can take steps to reduce your exposure to any possible associated health risks: •

•

Consider replacing older plumbing fixtures that may contain lead.

Faucets, fittings, and valves sold before 2014 may contain higher levels of lead, even if marked “leadfree.” Fixtures sold after January 2014 are required to meet a “leadfree” definition and only contain 0.25% or less lead.

The longer that water sits in your home’s pipes, the more particles it may contain. Before using water for drinking or cooking, flush the pipes. Run water for 30 seconds to two minutes until it becomes cold or reaches a steady temperature.

•

Use cold water for drinking and cooking rather than water from the hot water tap, since metal dissolves more easily into hot water.

•

Use only cold water for preparing baby formula or use water that is bottled or run through a leadreducing water filter.

•

Remove and clean your faucet aerator (the screen on the end of your faucet) at least every six months and after any plumbing work. The aerator collects lead and other particles that can affect your water.

For more information about drinking water quality, contact the WRC at 248-858-0958 or email WRCwater@oakgov.com.

To check if plumbing materials in your home may contain lead, follow these steps: •

Use the flat edge of a screwdriver to scratch any corrosion built up on the pipe, then place a magnet on the scratched area. If the magnet DOES stick, the pipe is made of galvanized steel.

•

If the magnet DOES NOT stick and the scraped area is copper in color (similar to the color of a penny), the pipe is made of copper; if the pipe is white, gray, red or blue in color and feels like plastic, the pipe is plastic.

•

But if the magnet DOES NOT stick and the pipe is shiny silver in color, the pipe may be made of lead.

PLANNING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Spring Home Maintenance

Keep neighborhoods in Farmington Hills looking fresh and help keep property values high by regularly maintaining your home. Review this checklist to see what projects you can tackle now that spring is here.  Roof – Inspect your roof on a ladder or use binoculars to check for damaged or missing shingles and signs of rusting, cracking, or leaking or call a professional to help you assess the damage.  Gutters – Clear all leaves and debris out of gutters and downspouts, and if they’re sagging, reattach or replace them. Use caulk to seal holes and prevent leaking, and make sure downspouts face away from the foundation for proper drainage.  Concrete – Look for cracks in the driveway, walkways, or pool deck and fill them with concrete filler or silicone caulk.

If damage is severe, you may need to replace concrete areas.  Faucets – Inspect hose faucets for freeze damage. Make sure water is flowing freely and pipes aren’t damaged.

 Air Conditioning – Remove debris from around the cooling unit and change the filters to increase efficiency. Spring is the ideal time to schedule a professional HVAC tune-up.  Deck – Check for stains, discoloration, warping, and rusty or loose nails. Make sure the railings and stairs are safely secured and replace any rotting boards.  Woodwork – Refurbish wood structures such as fences, railings, and trellises since they are prone to rot and decay.  Sprinklers – Check if the system is working properly and look for leaks or broken sprinkler heads. Adjust them so they spray the grass rather than the house, sidewalks, or porches.  Windows – Check for cracks and repair glass as necessary. Use a window screen repair kit to fix holes or tears that bugs can get through.  Landscaping – Clear out debris, trim overgrowth, and plan fresh additions to your garden to spruce up your home.
