That would be great for Sacramento. We are a great market for it!

Casey, You are looking in the right place. I don't know why this didn't make the daily activity summary. I'll ask Norm. It may not have been significant enough to make the daily. Not every call-for-service is noted on the daily summary.

I'll pass that on to our motor units.....

Did you post it on www.blog.sacpd.org? What was the name on the email? I have two that I've answered that are awaiting the moderator to post them. One was regarding pedestrians and the other a concerned parent worried about his daughter. If one was yours, it should be posted tomorrow...let me know if your question isn't among these...

Some cities in other states have that capability but we don't here in Sacramento. It is a good idea and it has been addressed before. I'm sure that as technology continues to change, there will be some type of texting feature in the feature.

That's a good question My Quest. Basically, if the police and fire are dispatched to an accident in the city limits, it would fall into the tax category.

Lighten up Smitty! Even the great columnists (not that I'm even in that league) rerun material when they're on vacation! Sheesh! Thanx for highlighting that by the way....

If it were only that simple....

It's always about common sense hurricane!

I refer people to the 311 operator almost daily at work. It is such a useful tool and so easy for people to use!

Animal control handles animal problems such as what you are referring to. You can call 311 and the operator will direct you to the appropriate section.

Crime Alert offers a reward of up to $1500 if the case is successfully procecuted.

Hate to see you go Jimmy....we'll miss you at the PD. You are a great man! Have a good time sleeping in my friend....FORE!

A Yoni.....it is what is is...

Mr. Knapp, You are reading into it.....no digs.....nothing up my sleeve...just the facts.

CCC, there is something that you can do about your neighbor's dog that's been on a barkathon.... The general noise ordinance for the city of Sacramento states that between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. the following day are the times in which officers can enforce the ordinance. Citizens can call the non-emergency number and have an officer dispatched. We will give the involved parties a warning. If the problem continues after we leave and the police receive a second call, we would then cite the concerned parties. The city’s Animal Services Division, as you already know, handles barking dog complaints. They will give you a chance to correct the barking issue, especially because you weren’t aware that your dog was so vocal. Call the number of the Animal Control officer that issued you the notice and start a dialog. Their main number is 264-7387. The city’s Code Enforcement Division is responsible for the investigation of complaints of ongoing and aggravated noise which require monitoring with sound level meters, or which are of a habitual or mechanical nature. Two common examples are a garage or residence being used as a rehearsal hall, or local bars where music or amplified sound disturbs those residing or working in the area. You can contact the Code Enforcement Division at 916-264-5948 if you have questions. The public can use their on-line form to register complaints.

Animal Control handles dog complaints. Go to blog.sacpd.org and read about the questions I've responded to regarding dog complaints....you do have a great sence of humor though...

I can't argue with you Dale....everything you say is true. But think about it....priorities are just that....you wouldn't respond to a noise complaint before an assault-with-a-deadly-weapon call or a robbery-in-progress or any other call that is violent or is effecting public safety. Believe me....our officers are chasing from call to call. Check out our annual report. You can see for yourself what has been happening crime-wise in our city.

I only wish everyone was as dedicated to their job as Randy. He is truely an honorary chief!

Hey Jimmy, glad your guys are okay. Sorry to see that place go....
