Public Safety FY 16/17 Major Accomplishments During the Magnesium Fruitland Fire Incident, the City successfully oversaw the emergency coordination and worked with various agencies to respond (American Red Cross, Fire Departments and Law Enforcements, etc.) We provided evacuees with food, shelter, transportation and a welcome home basket. We completed the Elementary Schools Parking and Drop Off study, which resulted in repainting curbs to improve traffic at school drop-off areas. This increased parking enforcement at school drop off zones for the safety of our elementary school children. According to the Sheriff s Department data records from January 2016 through June 2016, the number of arrests increased by 47%. This arrest increase was directly attributed to the 50% increase in our Sheriff s patrol coverage. The additional patrol coverage resulted in lower crimes, higher police visibility and shorter incident response time in our community. 11
