🇺🇸It’s that time of year again🇺🇸

A few reminders:

-Fireworks are allowed WITH a permit from the appropriate agencies in town

-There is a noise ordinance which begins at 10pm

-Be aware of your pets and make sure they are safe and sound we know that fireworks are often troublesome and bothersome for pets. Plan accordingly. This also goes for people with children or anyone who struggles with firework noises.

-Do not drink and drive or else you will have fireworks of your own. Drive sober or get pulled over. Designate a DD.

-PLEASE be mindful that calling 911 because your neighbors are setting off fireworks is not an appropriate use of the emergency line. If you call 911 when it’s not an emergency someone experiencing an emergency CAN NOT get through.

-Enjoy. Celebrate. Be safe. ❤️🤍💙

⛈️A rain dance or maybe even a storm dance might help “rain rain go away!” Or even some old fashioned puddle jumping in mud!⛈️ (of course let’s not do this when it’s lightening or thundering outside)

There has been mixed reviews of the weather anticipated to hit us here in lil ol Northfield. With that being said everyone should always prepare for the worst but expect the best.

The national weather service website is constantly being updated. You can access it at https://www.weather.gov/ and in the left top
Corner type in the zip code for information.

Always plan ahead for:
Food
AC or Heat
Weather proofing measures
Debris or trees in your area
Power outages
Charge those phones
Areas of flood zones

Check on your family. Neighbors. And friends. And animals.

As always Northfield Emergency Services are a phone call away.

Random police department calling asking for money. Apple services calling to ask for money. Someone asking for your bank account or social security number. Sounds rather fishy or seems off? Might make you shake your head or the hair on the back of your neck stand up?

Do any of these sound familiar? If they do. Or if they don’t. Don’t fall victim to scammers.

It is strongly suggested to never give your social security number out, bank account number, or date of birth to an organization or someone you do not know.

If you have fallen victim to a scam, please report this to the Attorney General Scam Hotline 800-649-2424. Northfield Police Department can start a case for you but we do not investigate these crimes.

It’s that time of year again-speed sign time!

Ofc Welch is in charge of the speed signs in Northfield. She will be placing them out and about this week starting 5/29/2024 until the fall.

Please be mindful the following things:

-There are only two signs that she places randomly in areas of concern or where feels can be seen, meaning they are visible to the general public, obstruction free.
-They require battery’s. So when the sign is not working it means she is charging them.
-The signs are a deterrent for speed, Ofc Welch asks that you do not play NASCAR and try to get a top speed, this is not funny or appreciated or safe for the public. Keep your speedy speedy zoom zooms to a normal range!
-If there is an area of concern you have for “high speeds” please reach out, all the cruisers are equipped with radar units, tested at the start and end of shift and the officers do traffic stops. They would be more than happy to enforce speeds. *also for general public clarification, if you are issued a ticket or warning, there is no quota in the town. It is up the officer if they choose to issue a ticket or warning.*
-A safe driver is a happy driver. And the police department loves happy and safe drivers!

If you see her placing these signs up, feel free to give her a honk, wave or shout hello. She loves the signs!

05/26/2024

•••PSA•••

If you see cruisers out and about today or tomorrow that are not Northfield Police. Do not fret. Northfield Police is also on.

In a campaign for highway safety other agencies have teamed up around the county and are conducting safety and traffic stops.

This is also a good time to remind the public that buckling up, not using your cellphone while driving, managing your speed, driving substance free, and driving the correct and proper way is the best way.

Stay safe on the roads, you matter and the public matters.

It is National Law Enforcement week-Sunday May 12th to Saturday May 18th

In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15 falls, as National Police Week. Established by a joint resolution of Congress in 1962, National Police Week pays special recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others.

National Police Week is a collaborative effort of many organizations dedicated to honoring America’s law enforcement community.

Northfield Police department would like to recognize and thank Cpl Gero, Ofc Welch, Ofc Gosselin and Chief Gomez this week for dedicating their time and lives to the Northfield Community.

Northfield Police Department also recognizes and honors all the fallen heroes before them. May we know them, remember them, and carry on their legacy’s each and every single day. 🖤💙🖤

The week of April 14-20, 2024 is National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week.

During this time we are proud to recognize our very own Sara Lique, communications dispatcher and administrator of the Northfield Police Department.

Sara has been dispatching for 18 years. She has been with Northfield Police Department for over 5 years. Without her dedication, care, committment, compassion, and love the department would not function as a whole. Northfield Police Department is extremely lucky to have one of the best!

Please take a moment this week to thank Sara, along with others who are the voice in the darkness at various agencies throughout the county. They are the first voice you hear when you are experiencing an emergency or when you call. Without them the work of others at the public safety agencies would not be possible.

To prevent this or mitigate this:

-If it is a valuable item or items. Have the sender send it to the post office where you will be required to sign for the item
-Track your orders and try to be home when they come or ask a buddy who you trust to get the items for you
-Be mindful of people around
-Place cameras up on your property
