CONGRATS SERGEANTS!
A very BIG congratulations to Sergeant Glenn Sharp and Sergeant Jerel Crowder for attaining their Master Peace Officer Certification from the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement. Master Peace Officer is the highest level of certification awarded by TCOLE. The certification is awarded when officers reach a required combination of years of service, college degree, military service, and / or in-service training hours. Sgt. Sharp has more than 20 years of law enforcement service and has acquired over 1600 hours of inservice training. Sgt. Crowder has almost 11 years of law enforcement service, five years of military service in the US Navy, and more than 1400 hours of in-service training. Both of these officers are leaders in the department and are a great example of the high expectations Nassau Bay has for all our officers.
FIRE PREVENTION WEEK Fire Prevention Week is October 4-10, 2020, and this year's theme is “Serve Up Fire Safety in the Kitchen!” The theme works to educate the public about simple but important actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe. According to NFPA, cooking is the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries in the United States. Almost half (44%) of reported home fires started in the kitchen. Two-thirds (66%) of home cooking fires start with the ignition of food or other cooking materials. The Nassau Bay Volunteer Fire Department (NBVFD) wants to share safety tips to keep you from having a cooking fire. • Never leave cooking food unattended. Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, grilling or broiling. If you have to leave, even for a short time, turn off the stove. • If you are simmering, baking, roasting, or boiling food, check it regularly, remain in the home while food is cooking, and use a timer to remind you that you’re cooking. • You have to be alert when cooking. You won’t be alert if you are sleepy, have taken medicine or drugs, or consumed alcohol that makes you drowsy. • Always keep an oven mitt and pan lid nearby when you’re cooking. If a small grease fire starts, slide the lid over the pan to smother the flame. Turn off the burner, and leave the pan covered until it is completely cool. • Have a “kid-free zone” of at least 3 feet around the stove and areas where hot food or drink is prepared or carried. We encourage all residents to embrace the 2020 Fire Prevention Week theme!
