Ruston has a new web page for public safety, put together by Lyle Hardin, Sally Everding and Police Chief Sharon Reese. Check it out here... I thought the newsletter message was worth repeating here:Greetings and Welcome!
All of us at the Police Department would like to thank the community members who participated in the Night Out Against Crime on August 5. It was a wonderful turnout and promoted lots of discussions among neighbors, friends and new acquaintances about partnering and preventing crime. Wonderful food and refreshments with music and great conversation made it fun for all ages. Everyone is looking forward to next year and perhaps agreeing on a common location for the event.
Our officers are to be commended for the recent investigation, apprehension and arrest of two armed robbery/kidnapping suspects. The original event occurred in Ruston and thanks to the assistance and cooperation of the Unicorn Tavern and the Pt. Defiance Casino staff we were able to identify the subjects in a timely fashion. Our appreciation is extended to all those who assisted us.
Unfortunately, we are saying goodbye to one of our best and brightest. Officer Josh Rasmussen has served Ruston for the last two years, primarily on the graveyard shift. He recently accepted a lateral position as an officer with Tacoma Police Department. We wish Josh well in this new phase of his career and thank him for his service and protection of our community.
We will soon be recruiting for regular full-time and part-time reserve police officers. If you are interested, a general application can be picked up at town hall. Job announcements and qualifications will be posted soon on this site.
A reminder that residents can still let us know when they are gone on vacation by filling out a “Residence Security Check” form and dropping it by Town Hall or the Police Department. Forms can be picked up at these locations and will be soon be available on the web.
Even in the hot weather, be sure to secure your doors and windows at night or while you are at work during the day. Open ones are a temptation to the criminal element and we have responded to several attempted burglaries this month in the area.
Our officers are including some foot patrols in their shift duties and may leave a card or note to make you aware of a particular situation. We rely a great deal on the reporting of unusual activity. If you have any questions or concerns please stop by or call our office, we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
Thank you for your support of public safety in Ruston. Our volunteer firefighters, police officers and town employees work hard for the Ruston community every day.
