911 - not for fun
Community Services/School Resource Officer Mario Raimato gave the Daisy Girl Scouts from Troop 427, in West Grove, along with their parents and siblings, a tour of the new SCCRPD Headquarters Wednesday evening. He showed them how the building was designed from the ground up for functionality and showed them some of the specialized equipment that we use to do our jobs. He explained how the 911 system works and reminded the youngsters that it should never be used for fun.

Crash Reports
The department has partnered with CARFAX to make all investigated crash reports from June 2018 forward available for access (24 hours a day/7 days a week/365 days a year) via CRASHDOCS.ORG. The cost is $15.00 per report and depending on the severity of the crash, they are usually available 5-7 business days after the accident was investigated.

Safety Reminder - Refrigerators
Residents are reminded that it is a violation of the Pennsylvania Crimes Code (Title 18, Section 6502) to discard a refrigerator or icebox, with a capacity of 1.5 cubic feet or more, with the door or lid still attached, in any place that is accessible to children. The SCCRPD has investigated four violations of this law in recent weeks. With warmer weather upon us, more children will be playing outside and these appliances can make tempting hiding spots.
