In conjunction with national high visibility “Click It or Ticket” enforcement campaigns during the month of May and in advance of the upcoming Memorial Day holiday, seatbelt emphasis will be conducted in Pierce County from May 16 to 24.

Seat belts are the best defense against impaired, aggressive, and distracted drivers. Being buckled up during a crash helps keep you safe and secure inside your vehicle; the seat belt slows you down and spreads crash forces over the strongest parts of your body. Despite steady increases in observed seat belt use, approximately half of all passenger vehicle deaths are unrestrained.

· Place the shoulder belt across the middle of the chest and away from the neck.
· Lay the lap belt across the hips and not the stomach.
· NEVER place the seat belt behind the back or under arms.

In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation designating May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the week in which it falls as National Police Week.

This week, we join communities across the country in recognizing National Police Week. It is a time to honor the service and sacrifice of the men and women in law enforcement who dedicate their lives to protecting our neighborhoods. From responding to emergencies in the middle of the night to building relationships through community outreach, their commitment ensures our families can feel safe and secure. We also hold a special place of honor for those who have lost their lives in the line of duty; their bravery and legacy will never be forgotten.

To all those who wear the badge with integrity and compassion: 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒌 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒊𝒄𝒆.

The Police Department has recently been notified that a resident received a phone call from an individual claiming to be one of our detectives. The caller asked for personal information, including bank account details, and stated they were working with the FBI and Homeland Security.

Fortunately, the resident did not provide any information and contacted the police department directly.

Although the caller ID displayed the police department’s phone number, this can happen through a process known as “spoofing,” which allows a caller to manipulate the number that appears on your phone.

⚠️ Important reminders:
• Be cautious when receiving unexpected calls requesting personal or financial information.
• If you are not involved in an active case or feel uncomfortable answering questions, hang up.
• Call the police department directly using the official phone number to verify whether the call is legitimate.

🚫 The Police Department will not threaten or pressure residents to provide personal information over the phone.

If you receive a call like this or have questions, please contact the Police Department directly.

Leash Law Reminder for Fircrest Residents

Spring is right around the corner, and with warmer weather on the way, more pedestrians and their pets will be enjoying time outdoors. This is a good opportunity to remind everyone of the City’s required leash law.

Under Municipal Code 7.03, dogs must always be on a leash unless they are in a designated off-leash area. Currently, the City of Fircrest does not have any designated off-leash areas.

The Police Department regularly receives complaints regarding dogs that are off leash. While parks and open spaces may seem like ideal places to throw a ball or allow dogs to run freely, doing so is a violation of city code. The Police Department is obligated to enforce the law as written.

In the coming weeks, you may see officers contacting dog owners to advise them of the leash requirement. We will begin with a warning period to ensure all residents are aware of the ordinance. Following this education period, officers will begin issuing infractions as part of the enforcement process. The fine for having a dog off leash is $513.00.

Our goal is not to issue citations, but to gain voluntary compliance and ensure a safe and comfortable environment for everyone in our community. While many members of the department are dog lovers, we recognize that not all residents are comfortable around off-leash dogs.

For reference, Municipal Code 7.03.150 states in part:

“Unless in a designated off-leash area (‘off-leash area’ shall mean any area designated by the city within which dogs, under the effective control of the owner or custodian, may be off leash), it shall be a violation for the owner or custodian of any dog to cause, permit, or allow such dog to roam, run, stray, or be away from the premises of such owner or custodian and to be on any public place or any public property or the private property of another in the city unless such dog, while away from such premises, is controlled by a leash or chain not more than eight feet in length…”

We appreciate your cooperation in helping keep our community safe and welcoming for all.

Yesterday, the Police Department held its annual meeting to present our 2025 department awards. Officer Jacob Lease received the Top Shot Award for achieving the highest marksmanship score in the department. This marks his third consecutive year earning this honor—an outstanding accomplishment.

Records Coordinator John Truong was named the Police Department’s 2025 Employee of the Year. John stepped into the Records Coordinator role in the front office following the former coordinator’s retirement. His transition was seamless, and he never missed a beat in maintaining the department’s efficiency. This award is especially meaningful because department administration has no role in selecting the recipient. Instead, it is voted on by all members of the department, who choose the individual they believe most deserves the recognition.

Please join me in congratulating both award winners!

I would also like to thank retired Tacoma Police Officer Chris Yglesias, a Fircrest resident, for providing an outstanding meal for our team to enjoy.
