Public Safety
I hope everyone is having a great week. The general public believes our job here is mostly negative but I have found that it is much more positive. Most of our “problems” are simple fixes (with a little common sense), and I continue to marvel at the sparkle of most of my human counterparts.
If found guilty, the man who police said robbed a Boulder City bank March 5 and a New Hampshire grocery store in February will likely serve his time in Southern Nevada before being extradited.

I found some interesting information this week about senior drivers and the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Scam artists are calling and pretending to be Internal Revenue Service agents to obtain personal financial information. They may seek the information by demanding money or saying a taxpayer is due to receive a refund. The callers may alter their caller identification to reflect an IRS number, and they use false names and bogus IRS identification badge numbers.
Don’t you just love it when you walk into a local retailer and see Christmas trees all set up and shiny bright — just in time for Easter? It seems that the “seasons” run into each other, disturbed only by the occasional teardown day from the last one.
February is the month of hearts. Valentine’s Day is the outward expression of love and its symbol is the heart. February is also health month for the American Heart Association as we try and focus on loving our bodies and reminding ourselves of the way in which we are able to keep our hearts healthy.
Happy February. Can you believe we’re almost through the second month of the new year? I can remember my grandmother telling me how fast life becomes as you get older and I didn’t believe it, but I guess I do now.
