beat it's been about six weeks since the last time we talked to each other in that time period spend relatively quiet in town other than the flooding that we've had to deal with the boys have been out working every day since the last time we talked we've issued one hundred forty six tickets ninety seven written warnings nine parking tickets but i can tell you that yesterday we issued an alone we're having a problems again with this hot weather would dugway road and these people seem to think they can park their vehicles right in the road with in tow anything but that's probably going to be our next step when they just keep blocking the road so we can get emergency vehicles t influence three were for criminal driving while license suspended and we had one for violation of a domestic abuse order and sense we did the stats this week alone we've dealt with this same person three times in eight days there is a court order with it on on him from the judge says he cannot contact the victim he cannot be on the victim's property he cannot text or he cannot write her but he gets drunk and we've arrested him and physically arrested him and locked him up in jail two or three times in the third time we actually took him in front of the judge because the court was in session he's seen the learn his lesson we dealt with him two nights ago he was so drunk he went back to the home and passed out on the back back so he went to jail again  we've also investigated one domestic assault father actually assault it is sixteen i think it was a sixteen year old daughter she got a concussion a broken collarbone so he's been charged  we had one stolen vehicle report the vehicle was actually recovered the next day in that town or georgia vermont and thirty something year old female was charged with a crime she has a little issue with alcohol and drugs we also closed out we were arrested one of my guys brought limit the arrested a sixteen year old and five counts of burglary sixteen years old and he already has a problem with alcohol and marijuana and people say marijuana isn't that bad a drug but to support his marijuana and alcohol habit he's breaking the neighbor's house breaking this case we suspected him to begin with but the neighbor was a hunter we had him put out one of his trail cameras lo and behold guess who we got on the trail camera sixteen year old male juvenile breaking into the cars again trying to get money from the this famil negligent operation officer josh chancellor one night was headed up the interstate we have all dropbox at the state's attorney's office so when you have paperwork that has to be there are certain period of time we have a key for it so he's headed back from the courthouse on the interstate he gets his car doing one hundred fifteen miles an hour going up the road up the interstate so he stops it guy driving the cars under twenty one so he got charged with carol's negative operation means he's got to go far to go in front of the judge he also got a five hundred one dollar speeding ticket and he was also charged with a minor in possession and consuming alcohol which means it was his first offense we fill out the three hundred dollar ticket and then it's gone the diversion if he completes his contract it will be forgiven and the consumption and possession he doesn't complete his contract then he's loses license for that charge and then he also has to pay the fine because they don't get second chances that not when they initially go to the diversion program we also had a case of unlawful trespass in this one turned out we were called to about eight fifteen in the morning on a weekday morning to a trailer at riverview commons trailer park the owner gets there and there's unknown woman in her house and again this woman thirty year old woman was on probation for drugs and alcohol violations she resisted arrest the two officers that we had one that day luckily actually ended up wrestling where they're out in the driveway because she didn't want to go to jail we get her back here to process or that one officer is trying to do the paperwork to get her into court and the other officers try to do the criminal record checks i happen to be babysitting or she decides she's going to leave and she got taken down on the floor again being on probation we had her reign but she was very combative it took five and a half hours a process as a woman get her to court get probation and parole there she refused to now go test which is a pulmonary breath test in about five and a half hours after the judge and probation officers mandated she still blew a point zero five zero point zero eight zero legal limit of intoxication she spent the weekend in jail this was on a friday she spent the weekend in jail was rearranged the following monday with additional charges and then we've had a case of violation other case of violations of conditions a re serious gand somebody gets a court order served against them the judge says you can't do this you can do the other thing here again alcohol played a factor in this and they were  drunk and violated the conditions so that person went to jail one of the things we've been dealing with is been with all the road flooding and stuff we've actually june twenty fifth in the me just check my notes june twenty fifth we had some flooding in town which was the initial stage and then july third fourth and july third fourth was so bad that we actually had to activate our emergency response vehicle the old humvee that's been reactivated for our use we had one place up on west way hill road where we got through that two feet of water by the fish and game club but it completely took out the road at the culvert by duran road so the rid to bring it around and the guys in and up ferrying people up there and rode because the only way you could get up there they were going to get their personal vehicles up and down the road to help get him either in or out of the residence and that caused a lot of damage in town as most of you know and sometimes it's damage that you don't see and july eighth i was just one of the back roads in the cruiser and lo and behold had a sinkhole in the whole front of the cruiser when basically it just landed on the front bumper and frame assembly the cruisers i was stuck there in huntington highway foreman happen to come by with a four wheel drive pick up he was able to hook a chain and we were able to get it out and just put it in reverse and then suffer any damage but the good thing that car is now gone that's the only seven chevrolet it's still sitting out in the parking lot but we have strip radios out of it but it's time to retire that when it's one hundred fifty three thousand plus miles on it and we did just recently get our new cruiser two thousand and thirteen chevrolet in palo spend marked up but we're waiting for a couple pieces of fleet right now the oldest one we have as about seventy six thousand miles on it right now which i'm hoping will be replaced next year one of the things we already talked about was the parking issues on the road with the gorge in that weather but in the last couple days this might actually this past weekend we again have had several cars broken into where the windows were smashed the reason that these cars are broken in one particular car which we've recovered the pocketbook but the pocketbook was laying right in plain view it's simply a walk up and grab smashed a window grab the pocketbook they got cash out of it they got her i d they got her credit cards and we think they got parts of her checkbook the other one was a same thing was parked right next to it walked up to it smashed the side window took the electronics out of the car that or again were in plain view i know we've talked about this in the past but if you're going to be somewhere and i don't care if it's the gorge or any other parking area could be that you moll could be downtown burlington you've got to secure the value because you can't leave a mountain plain sight put them in the trunk if you don't have a trunk you're in a pick up or something like that take them with you but don't leave them there in plain sight these are crimes of opportunity they're just simply walking up they see it sitting there in your vehicle they smash the window it takes a mob about ten to twelve seconds and off they go to the next one so you know we talked about this before but you can't leave this stuff in plain sight it's just too easy a target and you become a victim of the crime and these crimes are hard to solve and we wouldn't really solve any of ours last year when we had him on a robot we know did it because they were caught for doing the same thing in other towns and it's not necessarily people right here from richmond the ones last year i think they were all from coal chester in or essex but they hit culture esther the six eight south burlington when they hit us here in richmond i think they even hit in burlington and it was just all easy target stuff that's just in plain view smashed the windows a lot of times anyone smashed the windows people leave their stuff the cars unlocked and they just open the door and take what they want and off they're gone and then they go to the local street corner to sell it so your five hundred dollar apple i pod probably got sold for fifty to seventy five dollars the cash of course they use in that to buy their drugs and a lot of this is drug related it's like to like i said the sixteen year old we just got word five counts of burglary that was supporters alcohol in his marijuana habit it's so severe that the family has shipped him out of state to a treatment facility and we'll see if that helps him out before he goes to court this is our new cell and when we bring someone in that's under arrest for anything they come down in this room when we bring him in here for a dui charge driving under the influence of alcohol we have this machine here this is called  master it's a breath collection device what they have to do is you can see the keyboard the officer comes in here everything is entered the name the date of birth the the in france the date all that  stuff then what we have is what you get the machine right takes about fifteen minutes because we've got to make sure that they don't have the opportunity to drink something else in between we put a mouthpiece on here and have to blow into this machine this shane collects the sample and holds a sample so if somebody says that you know we didn't do it right now until we get an instant print out a says that b a c maybe you know point one all the last one we just had was a point one five zero there's a sample that's maintained by the health department and they can go back and check on this but to process a dui if they cooperate it is two and a half hours now with all the paperwork we had one the other die offs of josh and so got by the time we got all done it was almost four hours she was combative had driven off the road she was take he took her to jail for the night she's since been released plus we told her car but that's what this is this is just a printer so all the results when they enter all the information is ready to submit comes out of this printer which then two extra copies or may actually three extra copies your original and to go to the court one is always maintained here in the file everything that goes a quarter is a duplicate here then this box which we take tea out when we have someone in here we have a mug shot camera it's a really bad we have an extra set of handcuffs so we can double cup them to the bank we have a white board we fell out with their name their date of birth the date of the france and the case number everything is tracked by case number it all goes on this and they generally just hold it in front of them like  the mug shot on this camera we can print off we have a machine up there we can print the mug shots off the bigger agencies and we just don't have the room or the funding for it would actually have a machine that would take up a third of this r it's electronically fingerprints so instead of doing it on this black ink on the cards in this thing what we do with the electronic ones is you roll everything it's almost looks like this only information center and then there's a camera hooked into that machine and you take their photo that electronically sent so their mug shots are on file we do have crews or computers now every cruiser will have a person's been arrested on the computer in the car it'll bring up their mug shot ok you're good you're not giving me the right name it's this is not you what's your real name and then we can eliminate it that way to some people unfortunately do lie to us i'd like to inform you that we're going to lose one of our officers after two years officer josh chancellor was giving me his notice he'll be going to the wilson police department we are going to keep josh on part time so you'll see him here in august twenty fourth he's already committed to working that day for the rescheduled fourth of july ceremonies right now i'd like to introduce officer brett lin the mood bret's been with a sense november twenty ninth of two thousand and twelve billion a little bit we also just recently hired officer lance martell who is a part time certified officer and he's scheduled to start the cademy on monday august fifth so we won't see him on the road until sixteen weeks later so but now that you've been here since november twenty ninth what do you think of the town i love working in richmond and i'm happy to be here protecting and serving brett comes to us by way of waterbury vermont police department he spent a year there is a part time officer before he joined us as a full time bret's fully certified and has been since two thousand and ten or he put himself through the cademy which he can't even do that anymore so when i years around the country doing that then we moved to vermont and i became a state home dad enjoyed that and mentally did that for five years and then we decided to get back into the income generation picture and this is say the road say so the standard on dudley road for folks coming to the gorge is that your vehicle would need to be off the traveled portion of the road so in this case this gentleman is off the travel portion of the road and we can still get two vehicles to pass by this location that will work if the vehicles actually in the travel portion of the road or otherwise creates a situation in which we cannot get to be other then that vehicle will be to clear out of the hunting gorge it's mid morning we have a few vehicles out

please lock your vehicles you don't want to be a victim of a smash and grab there are folks who are out and about a working at the trailheads and fourteen remonde which is otherwise a safe state they're out to take advantage of folks who want to just leave a wallet on the passenger seat or some other valuable in plain view please don't do that and lock your vehicles when you're out here thank
