Every person reading this message needs to know that all of our<br \/>\nsafety is dependent on each and every one of us taking personal responsibility<br \/>\nfor sheltering in place, maintaining a social distance of 6 feet from one another<br \/>\nand developing personal strategies to maintain a healthy survival mindset.<br \/>\nThe police officers of Northern Police Station have risen to the call. Not one<br \/>\npolice officer assigned to your district has shrunken away from their duties<br \/>\nduring this public health crisis. Most officers have children and\/or parents in the<br \/>\nage group most vulnerable should they be exposed to the COVID-19 virus.<br \/>\nOfficers are taking great care to constantly wash their hands, clean their work<br \/>\nspaces with sanitary wipes, launder their uniforms daily and limit their public<br \/>\ncontact as the job allows. While the unpredictable nature of police work<br \/>\nrequires officers to touch, restrain and at times, administer first aid to arrested<br \/>\nand sick persons, officers are exercising as much caution as possible while in the<br \/>\nfield. Our station&#8217;s civilian staff, namely Amy our Janitor, Lyndon our facility<br \/>\nmanager and Cecil our vehicle maintenance officer, are working extra hard to<br \/>\nsupport your police officers by keeping the station and vehicles sanitized and<br \/>\nhave organized protective equipment to keep the patrol force safe.<br \/>\nMy priority is to protect you, the residents and merchants of the district, by<br \/>\ndoing everything possible to support our dedicated and loyal members of<br \/>\nNorthern Police Station. That means carefully monitoring officers for exposures<br \/>\nand illness, maintaining constant communication to ensure our officers families<br \/>\nare safe and protected while they are at work and ensuring that everyone is<br \/>\nwell-informed and prepared for the coming days and weeks as this pandemic<br \/>\nfurther presents itself to our community.<br \/>\nAs far as crime goes, we are seeing our community at it&#8217;s best with reported<br \/>\ncrime &#8211; vehicle burglary, robberies and other types of thefts, greatly reduced.<br \/>\nWith non-essential businesses now closed, we are deploying our officers to<br \/>\nmaintain order around our district&#8217;s stores and pharmacies which help to sustain<br \/>\nour community&#8217;s needs.<br \/>\nIt is extremely important that everyone continue to exercise caution and abide<br \/>\nby the Department of Public Health declaration for shelter in place. The time<br \/>\noff from school for the district&#8217;s children should not be treated as &#8220;snow days&#8221;<br \/>\nwhere we allow the kids a day off to play with their friends and the parents<br \/>\nhost a backyard BBQ. The biggest concern I have heard from the streets is that<br \/>\nsome people are just not appreciating the gravity of the situation and are<br \/>\nbeing reckless in their social contacts.<br \/>\nPlease do your part. I have shared with you how seriously your local officers<br \/>\nare approaching the crisis as a call for everyone to their obligation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/939df2bad2fb0377c00b6c363\/files\/4ff8e161-bc54-41f0-a91e-82fb437a79fd\/sfpd_northern_newsletter_march20.pdf\">http:\/\/polkstreetgazette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/newsletter0921181.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Captain Joe Engler\u2019s Message Residents, merchants, and visitors Thank you.
