Meeting Notes From Carmichael Sheriff's Community Meeting

Greetings all,

Thank you to many of our neighbors for showing up to make our presence known and ask questions at the Sheriff's meeting last Tuesday night. These notes were taken by Olivia from the meeting, and we'd like to take this moment to really encourage you all to attend the meetings and see how much our Sheriff's Dept. is doing to help our community. 

Sherrie Carhart gave an excellent presentation about how to effectively report crimes to the Sheriff's dispatchers, so that they can help us as quickly as possible. 

If you have any questions about these notes, please call or email myself or Olivia.
