July is always our busiest month.  With fireworks shows in both Sandy and Estacada and Timberfest the 4th of July was quite the celebration.

Later that same week we moved on to the Parade, Kids Parade, and Mt. Festival over the weekend of the 9th.  Everything went well and there were no problems reported.  It is always nice to get these events behind us.

On July 19th we held another negotiation meeting with the Sandy Police Officers Association.  Things are almost complete and firmed up.  We should have a draft proposal for the council on the August 15th agenda.

On July 20th we were visited by the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training.  We are working with them to try to get more training regionally, to avoid the travel to Salem.

Sandy PD staff conducted Run Hide Fight training for the Sandy Hospice group.  We had great fun and they won us over by having donuts.

We set up the preliminary Sandy PD Mobile App.  We are still adding some content, but it should be ready to roll out sometime in August.
