The vehicle matched the description of a suspect vehicle from a battery theft

witness description of the suspects in the case. The officer noticed that the
vehicle registration was also expired. He stopped the vehicle and contacted
the suspects. When he spoke to the driver, he observed batteries and a yellow
safety vest in the vehicle. A short time later, a call was received in

Tip

Pool Safety for Children
Establishing and following "Pool Rules"
can help ensure your family and friends have a safe and fun time swimming this
summer. Teach your children to swim as early as possible and always watch your
children when they are in or near a pool or spa. Each year, nationwide, we
experience too many incidents of children drowning in swimming pools, usually a
pool owned by their family, friends or a relative. At the time of most
incidents, the children were being supervised by one or both parents.
Toddlers, in particular, often do the unexpected. In addition to drowning
incidents, thousands of children are treated in hospital emergency rooms for
submersion injuries. Do not consider young children to be "drown proof"
because they have had swimming lessons; children must always be watched closely
while swimming. Here are a few "Pool Rules" you can adopt to keep your
family and friends safe:
*
Always have adult supervision.
*
Never lose sight of toddlers near a pool or spa.
*
Keep a portable telephone near the pool with
emergency numbers posted.
*
Learn CPR; at least one adult family member should
know CPR.
*
Do not allow running on the edge of the pool.
*
Keep large floating toys out of the pool - they
block the view.
*
Keep deck areas free of clutter.
*
Never allow young children to dive into a pool.
*
Install pool lights for night vision.
·
Have a clear view of the pool from inside your
home.
*
Remove automatic vacuums from the pool before
swimming.
*
Remove toys from in and around the pool; toys can
attract young children.
*
Keep pool chemicals locked away.
*
Never allow extension cords near a pool.
*
Keep rescue equipment by the pool.
*
Install a pool safety fence around your pool and
ensure pool gates are kept closed.
Enforce your
"Pool Rules" with family and friends for a safe and fun summer in
the pool!
