Sergeant Roberts and Chief Yamashita started the background check on our new hire, Sean Lundry in July. \u00a0After completing some research we left Sandy for The Dallas on July 3rd. \u00a0There we conducted interviews with The Dalles Police Chief, Captain and staff. \u00a0We also went to neighbors and interviewed them to see what type of family the Lundry’s were. \u00a0While it was 108 degrees the day we chose to walk around the neighborhood we were greeted by very nice folks all of which stated they were saddened to see Mr. Lundry leave. \u00a0They describe he and his family and great members of their community. \u00a0The officers and command staff at The Dalles PD think they will be “less” for not having Sean in their department. \u00a0Our gain for sure. \u00a0The only down fall is that we will now have two Sean’s (Shawn). \u00a0We may require him to change his name. \u00a0We are shooting for a start date of August 1st, 2015. \u00a0His swearing in will be shortly after.<\/p>\n
July 4th went pretty well. There were a few complaints on line, mostly on Face Book, which we managed pretty well. \u00a0One of the complaints was the distance folks with disabilities or lots of equipment would need to travel because part of the parking lot was closed during a baseball tournament. \u00a0We fixed this issue by having our officers use the Gator and help folks get to the fields and seating.<\/p>\n
We of course then moved right into planning and execution of the Parade and Mt. Festival. Overall things went very well. \u00a0We had about a dozen volunteer youth working on their Mormon Missions help with pedestrian traffic and standing posts and closed roads.<\/p>\n
Dale Willcox graduated near the top of his class on July 17th. \u00a0He is already on the road working with Officer Hererra. \u00a0He will be off training on or before September 24, 2015.<\/p>\n
