	DRPD Bike Patrol	We live in a fast-paced society where motorists want to zoom at 50 mph to every red light, so it might seem strange to put some police officers back on bicycles. However, an officer in a patrol car is highly visible, he or she can’t scout back alleyways, parking lots, parks, crowds, and pursuing criminals who don’t use a motor vehicle to escape can be a challenge. But unencumbered mobility is just one of the many advantages of police officers partaking in bike patrol. This mobility combined with quietness and small size allows for surprise apprehension of unwary criminals. They allow police greater contact with citizens than patrol cars and have a much greater range than strictly foot patrols. Thus, bike patrol units are an excellent match with community-based policing protocols. Bike Patrol is also ideal for enforcing traffic laws for bicyclists to protect us from ourselves. They can also enforce speed limit and traffic control laws for motorist violators, making the roads safer for everyone. Bike Patrol officers can also use all of their senses to detect illegal activity. They encounter crime as it is happening and can see and hear clues that lead them to where the crime is being committed. It’s because of these benefits and many more that the Del Rio Police Department is working hard to train and bring Bike Patrol into our community.

	Home Fire Sprinkler Week	The National Fire Protection Association and the Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition will celebrate the week of May 19th through May 25th, 2019 as Home Fire Sprinkler Week. Every year, the majority of fire deaths in North America happen at home. Modern construction materials and synthetic furnishings are creating home fires that burn faster than ever. Today, you may have only 1-2 minutes to safely escape a burning home after the smoke alarm signals. Fire sprinkler in new homes are key to your town’s community risk reduction plans. The risk of dying in a home fire decreases by about 85 percent if sprinklers are present. Fire sprinkler installation in new homes is cost-effective, averaging 1-2 percent of a home’s total construction cost. Only the sprinkler closest to the fire activates, preventing the spread of deadly toxic smoke and fire.
