From Your Police Department:
By the time you read this column, spring will have finally arrived! It was a pretty tough winter especially the cold temperatures we experienced in February. Hopefully you will have a great spring as we look forward to the summer months and events that are on the horizon!
On Saturday, April 28, 2017 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at the Gates Mills Town Hall, Detective Day will be on site to accept your old/unwanted medications for the National Prescription Drug Take-Back program. Please remember, we are unable to accept liquids or needles.
In addition to participating in the Drug Take-Back Program, a reminder that The Village of Gates Mills has partnered with the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office to offer our residents the opportunity to drop off unused, old or expired prescription drugs 24 hours per day, 7 days a week. Drug Drop Boxes provide a safe, environmentally friendly way for our residents to dispose of these prescription drugs. Hanging on to unused or expired medications poses health risks for everyone in your home. The Drug Drop Box is located under the overhang at the side Village Hall door, across from the Community House, for your convenience at all times of the day or night.
This year's Safety Town will be held from July 23rd – July 27th at the Gilmour Academy Ice Arena. Morning and afternoon sessions will be scheduled at a cost of $25.00. The fee will be used to assist Gilmour Academy in defraying the cost to use their facility. This is the 5th consecutive year we have partnered with Gilmour Academy to hold Safety Town and the program has been extremely popular and successful. Registration can only be done online at www.gilmour.org/summercamp beginning Tuesday, May 1.
We have had a recent surge of residents signing up for our new Your 911 safety app. We now have over 300 residents registered. Be sure to sign up so you will continue to receive mass notifications as we will be phasing out our current Code Red system in a few months. If you have questions regarding the new system, please call Dorothy or Jean at the town hall during business hours for information or assistance in registering. A reminder that information about the Your 911 safety app was included in the State of the Village mailing and can also be found by visiting our website at www.gatesmillsvillage.com.
Until next month – Proud to serve…Sworn to Protect
Yours in Service,
