The Community Notification Enrollment Page allows city residents to supply us with their own emergency contact information. Residents can input an unlisted number, their cell phone number or any other secondary phone numbers.  This will be use to reach more of our residents with essential emergency information.

Law enforcement is a 24 hour operation, and in order to maintain continuity and coordination of the Department’s multitude of activities, a Watch Commander is assigned to each shift. The position is responsible for everything that occurs during a shift including the direct oversight of field personnel and their activities, review and approval of all bookings of arrestees, and coordination of necessary resources during extraordinary circumstances. In addition, the Watch Commander receives and records personnel complaints, and resolves conflicts. The Watch Commander is typically a Lieutenant with tenure and in their absence a Sergeant will fill in.

Q: Am I allowed to use my wireless telephone hands free?
A: No. Drivers under the age of 18 may not use a wireless telephone, pager, laptop or any other electronic communication or mobile services device to speak or text while driving in any manner, even hands free. EXCEPTION: Permitted in emergency situations to call police, fire or medical authorities. (VC 23124).

Q: Why is the law more strict for provisional drivers?
A: Statistics show that teen drivers are more likely than older drivers to be involved in crashes because they lack driving experience and tend to take greater risks. Teen drivers are vulnerable to driving distractions such as talking with passengers, eating or drinking, and talking or texting on wireless phones, which increase the chance of getting involved in serious vehicle crashes.

Q: Can my parents give me permission to allow me to use my wireless telephone while driving?
A: No. The only exception is an emergency situation that requires you to call a law enforcement agency, a health care provider, the fire department or other emergency agency entity.

Q: Does the law apply to me if I'm an emancipated minor?
A: Yes. The restriction applies to all licensed drivers who are under the age of 18.

Q: If I have my parent(s) or someone age 25 years or older in the car with me, may I use my wireless telephone while driving?
A: No. You may only use your wireless telephone in an emergency situation.

Q: Will the restriction appear on my provisional license?
A: No.

Q: May I use the hands-free feature while driving if my car has the feature built in?
A: No. The law prohibits anyone under the age of 18 from using any type of wireless device while driving, except in an emergency situation.

Q: Can a law enforcement officer stop me for using my hands-free device while driving?
A: No. For drivers under the age of 18, this is considered a SECONDARY violation meaning that a law enforcement officer may cite you for using a hands-free wireless phone if you were pulled over for another violation. However, the prohibition against using a handheld wireless telephone while driving is a PRIMARY violation for which a law enforcement officer can pull you over.
