TREAT CHILDREN TO A SAFE HALLOWEEN


Please be cautious and drive safely around areas where children are likely to gather this Halloween. “We’re expecting more children and adults to be out on Halloween this year because it falls on a Friday. Slow down and watch for pedestrians. If you’re planning to attend a Halloween party, please designate a sober driver,” said Col. Stan Clark, interim director of the Texas Department of Public Safety.

“Pedestrians should make sure to look both ways before crossing a street, and they should choose costumes that will be easy for drivers to see,” Clark said.

Following these safety tips will help keep trick-or-treaters safe.

Costume safety tips:

    • Avoid toy guns and knives – they could be mistaken for the real thing.
    • Wear costumes that are light in color and short enough to avoid tripping.
    • Wear shoes that fit.
    • Place reflective material on the costume, so drivers can see you.
    • Avoid masks – use face paint instead for better visibility and peripheral vision.
    • Carry a flashlight.

Keep these safety tips in mind:

    • Look both ways before crossing roadways. Always walk, don’t run.
    • Cross the roadway at intersections and crosswalks when possible.
    • Travel in groups with adult supervision.
    • Do not enter the cars and homes of strangers. Avoid homes without visible porch lights.
    • Make sure children know their home phone number and how to call 911 or their local emergency number if they have an emergency or become lost.
    • Take all treats home for an adult to inspect before eating anything. Never eat unwrapped candy.

NATIONAL NIGHT OUT MOVED TO OCTOBER 7th IN TEXAS


Mayor Felix presents a Proclamation for National Night Out to Police Chief Dennis Veach at the October 6th Council meeting.  There were 14 neighborhood block parties registered to host events on Tuesday, October 7th.

Due to the extreme heat in Texas, National Night Out has been moved to October 7th. From 7 to 10 pm, Sachse residents are asked to turn on their outside lights and spend the evening outdoors with neighbors. Many neighborhoods in Sachse will host a variety of special events such as block parties, cookouts, visits from police, flashlight walks, contests and youth activities. NNO is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, generate support for and participation in local anti-crime efforts, strengthen neighborhood spirit and police/community partnerships, and send a message to criminals that neighborhoods are organized against crime.

"Lieutenant Marty Cassidy will be coordinating events and scheduling appearances by the department’s officers," said Police Chief Dennis Veach. "Those wanting to organize block parties or HOA events should contact Lt. Cassidy." The Sachse Police will help provide assistance and materials to make local events a success. Lt. Cassidy can be reached at mcassidy@cityofsachse.com or at 972-495-2271, ext. 204. "This year is going to be our biggest year yet," says Lt. Cassidy, "We can’t wait to get out there and strengthen our partnership with the community."  Click here for more information.  Click here for a short video** about National Night Out.  **This is a large file and may take several minutes to load**

ELECTRONIC FINGERPRINTING UPDATES POLICE TECHNOLOGY

LiveScan is an inkless, electronic fingerprinting process for transmitting information to various state and federal agencies for identity and criminal record verification when someone is arrested for a Class C or above criminal offense.  The electronic process will eliminate many of the problems associated with ink prints such as smudging, smearing, over- or under-inking and speeds up the processing to hours instead of days. 

How does it work?  Following an arrest, an officer will scan the fingerprints of the arrestee using a touch print panel.  The process reduces the likelihood of illegible fingerprints or missing information on the fingerprint card.  It is faster and cleaner than the old method and the officer knows immediately if the print is of sufficient quality.

Some jobs require fingerprints, including real estate licensees, notaries, vehicle dealers, driving instructors, foster parents, teachers, appraisers, elder care givers, as well as anyone having contact with children or the elderly, to name a few.

This system can interface with the automated fingerprint identification system and results with name and criminal history comes in minutes instead of days.  Electronic fingerprinting is fast becoming an internationally recognized form of identification and we are pleased that Sachse is able to offer the latest in police technology.


2008 TOY DRIVE KICKS OFF WITH $250 DONATION


 Tracy Pounders with Linebarger, Goggan, Blair & Sampson, LLP, the city's tax attorneys, donated $250 cash to the Sachse Fraternal Order of Police Christmas Toy Drive for 2008.  The 2007 campaign was very successful and the organization was able to provide toys for several needy families in the Sachse area with a few left to carry over for next year.  Mr. Pounders feels that the FOP Toy Drive is an extremely worthwhile cause and was pleased to be the first cash contributor for the 2008 drive.  Pictured left to right: Police Chief Dennis Veach, Tracy Pounders, Officer Ronnie Davis and Sergeant Richard Oliver.  Officer Davis and Sergeant Oliver have been involved with the Sachse FOP and Christmas Toy Drive for several years and enjoy being able to provide Santa Claus to as many children as possible.
