October 5, 2023

Good morning. Welcome to October and (officially) the fall season.

Football, Halloween costumes, bonfires, tailgating, hunting and folks all trying to keep the leaves out of their yard. Fun stuff. Drunks at football parties, bonfires that start wildfires, drunk and disorderlies in parking lots … there's another side to all the fun.

Make sure your officers know the balance between supporting the fun, helping educate safety and preventing the stupid from overflowing into ruined days.

Stay safe!

Lt. Frank Borelli (ret)
