EMERGENCY SERVICES

ST JOHN update with Mel Brooker

Well, I must say it has been a good month. Burglaries are down, but we are still receiving reports of suspicious vehicles and people in places where they should not be. So be vigilant and keep the reports coming. In saying that, I am still getting a lot of reports coming through via word of mouth and the likes, the Rural Outlook App is a great way to report those low-level incidents. It is quick and easy to download the App, and make yourself familiar with it. If you are having problems, come and see us and we will be happy to help.

On a similar note, I have been approached by a number of people about what they should be doing if they find someone offending, whether it be on their property or in a store. My answer is simple. Report, get as much detail as you can, but not so much as to put yourself in harms way. It is simply not worth it. You can be putting yourself at risk of serious harm. So please report, don’t try and intervene. It’s simply not worth it.

It’s been a changeable time with the weather, rain and freezing cold one day then beautiful sun the next. Please be vigilant out there on the roads. Slow down and be safe out there.

Enjoy and stay safe. Feel safe.
