As another school year wraps up, we want to extend our congratulations to all students on their hard work and achievements! A special shout-out goes to this Villa Maria Senior graduate—best wishes as you embark on exciting new adventures after high school.

For the past three years, we’ve truly enjoyed partnering with Villa Maria Academy High School on their senior project, which supports young women interested in criminal justice careers. The project combines research with real-world shadowing experiences. This senior had the opportunity to shadow Officer Bills and visit several law enforcement agencies throughout the county, while gaining valuable firsthand insight into the role of a police officer.

We hope everyone enjoys a safe, fun, and relaxing summer. We look forward to welcoming students back in August! 😊

*****Effective June 6, 2026, the penalty for driving with a mobile device in hand will be elevated to a summary offense with a $50 fine, plus court costs and other fees.*****

Paul Miller’s Law, which took effect in 2025, bans the use of handheld devices while driving, even when temporarily stopped in traffic. This means drivers can NOT hold their phone or other devices while driving, even at a red light or stop sign.

Drivers will be given warnings until June 5. After June 5 drivers may be issued citations for the violation.

Today is Diane Moore’s 30th anniversary as the department’s Administrative Assistant but she’s so much more than that. She’s our matriarch, our heart, and our calm in the storm. Our department would not function without her quick wit, her beautiful smile, and her steadying presence.

Please join us in congratulating Diane on this amazing accomplishment.
