Recap of City Issues - January 2, 2009
The Highland Village Fire Department had a very successful Santa Day at the Fire Station this year. The event was held on Saturday, December 20th with over 400 children and adults that came to meet Santa and enjoy the festivities. Santa Day is an annual community event held at the Fire Station. This year Santa and Mayor Dianne Costa began the day by riding through the neighborhoods on the fire engine. The Highland Village Firefighters presented Children's Advocacy Center of Denton County with over 75 toys and games that were donated to the Fire Station during the holiday season. Thanks to everyone who helped to make the event successful this year.
Flower Mound Police Department has adopted our "No Hats, No Hoods, No Sunglasses" program designed to reduce the possibility of bank robberies.
The Police Department gave out 280 Beanie babies and goodie bags at Santa Day. McGruff (Auxiliary Robert Chambers) was a great hit. Auxiliary members Lieutenant Jones, Selene Allison, Deb Brod, Michael MacLean, Jay Myers, and Mike McCoy were also there to assist with the great turn out.
The Police Department recently sponsored Santa Cop 2008 at Rambling Oaks. The residents really enjoyed seeing Santa and showed it through their smiling faces. The residents also expressed their gratitude toward the Highland Village Police Department for thinking of them during the holiday season.
This week the Police Department responded to 136 calls for service, made 67 traffic contacts, made 10 arrests, responded to 9 traffic accidents and performed 896 community policing activities.
The Highland Village Fire Department had 38 calls for service for Dec 19 -25th. This included: 22 medical emergencies, 5 fire alarm calls, 3 structure fires, 3 odor investigations, 1 public service, 2 public assists, 1 motor vehicle accident, and 1 commercial fire alarm call.
Clint Webb has accepted a position as a police officer with Highland Village, tentatively effective January 12th. Clint is a former HVPD officer who recently left to work in the private sector. We welcome Clint back and look forward to working with him in his new position.
The Police Department would like to express a sincere thanks for all the volunteer hours and service which have been provided by the HVPD Civilian Auxiliary. We know your time is valuable and limited, and appreciate each of you making the decision to share that spare time and giving back to your community in volunteer service. Without your spirit of volunteerism we would not have achieved our "Safest City" status or have been able to achieve our Community Policing Awards.
