Carmel By The Sea Police Officers Association

All month long we're celebrating women who paved the way for others. In Law enforcement history we look to women such as Alice Stebbins Wells, Marie Owens, Josephine Serrano, Isabella Goodwin, Georgia Ann Robinson, and more. All important figures who created change and left a lasting impression in our world. We of course want to thank all of the the women currently in Law Enforcement, proudly continuing the tradition to Protect and Serve our community every day.

Today we honor all of the brave women who fought for our social freedoms and continue to strive for excellence whether it be in the home, work or battlefield!

As dog lovers, I think we can all relate to this!

On August 6, 1993, Nathan Sims shot Long Beach Police Sergeant Abel Dominguez during a traffic stop. Abel was gravely injured but ultimately survived the attack. Abel suffered catastrophic injuries resulting in permanent disabilities. On November 10, 2020, Sims will be going before the Parole Board again for consideration of an early release from his life sentence. We need your help in opposing this early release. Sims has shown no remorse, nor has he taken any responsibility... for his crimes. Please Join Us In Our Opposition to Mr. Sims' Release: https://oneclickpolitics.global.ssl.fastly.net/messag/edit It is imperative that we show our support for the Dominguez family as well as make it clear to the Parole Board that we believe Nathan Sims still presents a danger to society and should serve out the term of life in prison as prescribed by the sentencing court. We kindly ask that you submit the attached letter via this platform to the Board of Parole.

Wildfire & You: Wildland fires are a fact of life in California and the entire west, affecting all of us as we have just experienced. But seniors and people with disabilities are at a higher risk. It’s essential, then, for them and the people who care for them, to take action and learn how best to prepare for wildfires. While most of the fires here in Monterey County are out, this is not the time to let our guard down. Fall is when California's fire danger can be the highest.

The National CERT Association created National CERT Week, September 21-27, to recognize the efforts of Community Emergency Response Teams all over the country. As part of the celebration, which coincides with National Preparedness Month, CERT teams are asked to share memories from their years of operation. The first CERT team was created in 1986 with the goal of creating citizen volunteers equipped to provide assistance during disaster response. CERT graduates go through a na...tionally approved training program to learn about fire safety, light search and rescue, first aid and CPR, traffic management, team organization, and disaster medical operations. The assistance provided by CERT volunteers frees up professional emergency responders to focus on more specialized tasks during a crisis. There are more than 2,800 CERT programs across the country. To find out more about Carmel CERT, contact: Wanda Vollmer - (831) 915-3148 Scot Smythe - (650) 804-8767 Carmel CERT Captains Here are a few images of our Carmel CERT in action.

Tips for National Preparedness Month 1. Get Connected! Get alerted about emergencies and other important community news by signing up for our Emergency Alert Program. This system enables us to provide you with critical information quickly in a variety of situations, such as severe weather, unexpected road closures, missing persons and evacuations of buildings or neighborhoods. You will receive time-sensitive messages wherever you specify, such as your home, mobile or business... phones, email address, text messages and more. You pick where, you pick how. Sign up for Alert Monterey County here: https://www.co.monterey.ca.us//citiz/alert-monterey-county 2. Make a plan Talk to your friends and family about how you will communicate before, during, and after a disaster. One of the most important, and oftentimes overlooked, parts of any highly efficient disaster response is effective information exchange between information sources, emergency managers and those impacted by the disaster or emergency event. 3. Build a Kit Gather supplies that will last for several days after a disaster for everyone living in your home. Don’t forget to consider the unique needs each person or pet may have in case you have to evacuate quickly. 3. Know the risk of disasters in your area and check your insurance coverage. 4. Follow local disaster preparedness educator, Wanda Vollmer at Peace of Mind Prep for more tips.
