Safety first! We recently participated in a grant funded traffic safety/seatbelt emphasis in Sumner, with support from Tacoma PD. Over the 4-hour emphasis, we made a total of 37 traffic stops and issued 51 citations. Wearing a seatbelt is one of the easiest things we can do to drastically reduce likelihood of injury or death from a collision. Remember to buckle up!

Last week members of our department had the honor of participating in the Special Olympics Torch Run as it came through Sumner.

It was an amazing experience to help carry the Flame of Hope and support the Special Olympic athletes who inspire us all with their determination, courage, and positivity! Events like this are a great reminder of the power of community and the importance of inclusion for everyone.

We are grateful to have been a part of it and are already looking forward to next year!
