children. This includes talks with local P.T.A. groups, tours of
the facility, and the City's "Officer Bill" program.

vehicle issues. Activities include the regulation of parking in
areas with established restrictions, as well as general patrol around
the City for parking and vehicle violations. Junk vehicle notices
