Usually we allot 20-30 minutes for a guest speaker.

This will be our 11th ceremony.  The ceremony is traditionally a…

4 Washington police officers killed

Posted on November 30, 2009 at 8:51pm 1 Comment

My heart goes out to the town, department and families of the 4 washington police officers brutally killed this weekend. Another senseless act of aggression and violence against the innocent by an evil person.



We may not always get along with our brothers and sisters in Blue but you have to respect them for doing what they do and putting on that uniform everyday.



May God bless and console the friends and families of these men and woman



How about in honor of… Continue

What is the best way to slow traffic ?

Posted on August 23, 2009 at 12:37pm 4 Comments

We do a lot of traffic control in our area. We have a major single lane US highway, lots of blind curves and over 6 % grade. One of the first things we do on a scene is set up a safety zone. Sometimes that means stopping traffic but often all we have to do is slow traffic ahead of the accident so the guys around the curve at the scene can direct them around. We carry the requisite vests/wands/signage but often folks still just fly past us. Stopping traffic is easier because we can block the… Continue

Mark,

Re: my blog "Life Changes"; I'm sorry if you thought I was placing blame, because that was certainly not what I was after. I was actually trying to illustrate that no matter what we do sometimes, even if we are doing everything right, sometimes things go wrong. I don't have any facts other than what was presented in the articles. What I do want, however, is for drivers to not take their responsibility for granted (which we all do after years in the seat, including myself).

My prayers are with all of the parties involved and in the hope that they all can recover from this extraordinarily tragic event. Thanks for your comments.

Unfortunately, the CFD wants to join the consolidated dispatch authority, but the City Counl won't let them...we're still working on it! I promised them I wouldn't give up on them and we're working closely with them to assist, whenever their dispatch is too busy or can't hear them.

DFA did fund our equipment. The "Consolidated" dispatch center is considered the primary PSAP, for any County. The City of Carslbad still gets "some" funding, but will not be on the same level as a consolidated center.

The City of Carslbad is in the same boat, so they've pretty much become and island unto themselves. We, the Consolidated Dispatch Authority, have moved on with installing brand new radios, 911 equipment, etc. We are in the process of building a new state of the art facility and installing a new CAD/RMS system that will tie together Dispatch, our Sheriff's Dept, Artesia PD and our Fire Departments.
