There have been several suicide attempts recently from the Fremont Bridge.
One of the departments boat is under repair. It is a warranty issue but the repair has been difficult.
Grant money for a landing craft has been approved. this is great news. It will allow the sheriff to transport ATV’s to islands for patrol. It will be a huge resource in maintaining thorough patrols on the islands.
