Tonight, around 10:30 pm, a resident reported a large tree had fallen on to Lakeshore Drive South just east of the Terrace Trail South intersection. A majority of the tree was removed from the roadway. However, a small portion of the eastbound lane on Lakeshore Drive South is still blocked by the tree. Cones have been placed around the tree and Q-Inc. has been notified. The remainder of tree will be removed in the morning.

A special thanks to Dave Prather for his assistance with removing tree debris from the roadway!

This morning, Lt. Leif French attended the graduation for the Lake Quivira Academy Preschool. Earlier this school year, Lt. French visited the classrooms where he spoke with the preschoolers about being a police officer, how to stay safe, making good choices, and the importance of listening to their parents. The two graduates posing with Lt. French want to be police officers some day.

The Lake Quivira Police Department would like to thank the LQ Academy Staff for allowing Lt. French the opportunity to visit with the preschoolers.

Finally, the Lake Quivira Police Department would like congratulate this year's graduates. We wish you all continued academic success.

Seat belt campaign focuses on consequences of not wearing a seat belt

Memorial Day marks the beginning of warmer weather, outdoor activities and weekend trips increasing traffic on Kansas roadways. The Lake Quivira Police Department reminds the public to avoid dangerous consequences and buckle up.

The Lake Quivira Police Department joins law enforcement across the country to remind drivers to Click It or Ticket. Drivers can expect to see increased law enforcement presence on local roads during the nationwide safety campaign, which runs from May 17- June 1

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, buckling up helps keep occupants safe and secure inside a vehicle, while failing to wear a seat belt can result in ejection during a crash—an outcome that is almost always deadly.

Seat belts are one of the safest choices drivers and passengers can make. Consider these safety tips:

• The right seat belt matters. The shoulder belt should lay flat across the middle of your chest and away from your neck.

• The lap belt should fit across your hips, not your stomach.

• Never put the shoulder belt behind your back or under your arm.

• Children should be secured in age and size appropriate restraints until they are old enough and large enough for adult seat belts.
