BEAT THE HEAT
Whether you are playing or working outside this summer, you should take the following precautions to stay safe in the heat: Cover Up: Wear light-colored, loosefitting clothing, a wide-brim hat, and sunglasses. Limit Direct Exposure: UV rays are most intense between 10am-4pm. Limit time outdoors during these hours. Use Sunscreen (SPF 15 or higher): Put on sunscreen before you go outside, even on cloudy days, and reapply every two hours if you are active and sweating or swimming. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water regardless of your activity level. Don't wait until you're thirsty to drink more fluids. Stay away from beverages that contain caffeine, alcohol, or large quantities of sugar. NEVER Leave Children or Pets in a Closed Car: In just a few minutes, temperatures can rise high enough to hurt or kill your loved ones. Know the Signs & Symptoms of Heat Disorders: Heat stroke, heat exhaustion, heat cramps, sunburn, and heat rash are common conditions that you should be able to recognize.
HONORING SERGEANT KAILA SULLIVAN Texas Peace Officer Memorial Ceremony Sergeant Kaila Sullivan was honored and remembered at the 2021 Texas Peace Officer Memorial Ceremony and Candlelight Vigil on May 2, 2021. A total of 43 officers were remembered this year, combining those officers lost in 2019 and 2020. The ceremony was cancelled last year due to COVID-19 restrictions. The events included a Survivor’s Luncheon, balloon release, a visit to the Texas Peace Officer Memorial at the State Capitol grounds, an evening at the Texas Peace Officer Memorial Ceremony, followed by the Candlelight Vigil. Throughout the day, the surviving family members and coworkers were able to connect with other survivors from previous years, forming a bond that will be long lasting and supportive. Chief Cromie and Officer Brown were honored to accompany Sgt. Sullivan’s family for the weekend events. National Police Week In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15th as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15th falls, as National Police Week. National Police Week pays special recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others. From May 9th to 15th, the City of Nassau Bay remembered the tragic loss of Sergeant Kaila Sullivan on December 10, 2019, in addition to the officers nationally and statewide who made the ultimate sacrifice. At the May 10th City Council meeting, Mayor Bob Warters proclaimed this week as National Police Week in honor of Sgt. Sullivan and our law enforcement communities.
