Fireworks Safety

imagesCAM8UR6W

Whether it is the sparkle of the bright lights, or the thunderous boom of the explosion, there is no denying the thrill that fireworks can bring to an Independence Day celebration. Unfortunately, when fireworks are misused, injuries and property damage can occur. A special study conducted by the Consumer Products Safety Commission found that 65 percent of all fireworks injuries in 2011 were sustained during the 30 days surrounding the Independence Day holiday. More than half of these injuries were the result of unexpected ignition of the device or consumers not using fireworks as intended.

imagesCAC6YS1Q

In addition, non-Safe and Sane fireworks are ILLEGAL for use by anyone other than licensed, trained professionals that are permitted to discharge them. Safe and Sane fireworks stands will be open throughout Rialto from June 28th through July 6th. Safe and Sane fireworks are defined as those fireworks that don’t fly, travel or explode. Fountains, sparklers, snakes and smoke effects, ground spinners, snap pops and other novelty fireworks fit this description.

However, firecrackers, rockets, roman candles, shells, and other aerial effects are NOT considered safe and sane fireworks. Anyone found with these illegal fireworks will be cited and the fireworks confiscated. The Fire and Police departments will be patrolling the City throughout the holiday period to ensure compliance with our rules on fireworks use.

IF YOU SEE ANYONE LIGHTING WHAT APPEARS TO BE ILLEGAL FIREWORKS DURING THE 4th, please call the Fire Department immediately using our Fireworks Hotline at (909) 421-7245. Operators there will take the information and dispatch personnel to investigate and take appropriate action. Please DO NOT call 9-1-1 to report illegal fireworks unless you also suspect a fire, injury, or serious crime.

Crime Tip – Mailbox Break-Ins

A little comment prior to the Crime Alert From Rialto Police Department. Its tax season and those of us that dont use direct deposit or people waiting for their W2’s from empolyers are targets for these criminals please take heed.
Facebook users conect with Rialto PD and get these alerts as they are posted at the following link:
https://www.facebook.com/#!/RialtoPD?fref=ts
Updated information regarding the contact information:
If there is a break-in to your mailbox and your mail is stolen (regular break-in) you will need to contact the Postal Inspection Service.

If you experience vandalism to your mailbox you will need to contact the police department.

CRIME TIP: We have had a sudden increase of mailbox break-ins.
Remove your mail each day don't allow your box to be an easy target

Remove your mail each day don’t allow your box to be an easy target

Most break-ins occur during the evening or middle of the night. You can help reduce these incidents by EMPTYING YOUR …MAILBOX EVERY DAY before the evening ends.
All to common throughout the Inland Empire

All to common throughout the Inland Empire

If everyone does this, those responsible will find that they are not having luck finding mail in the boxes and will go elsewhere. Regular break-ins have to regularly be reported by contacting the Postal Inspection Service directly at 1877-USMAIL5 or by visiting https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/.  The more reports they receive the more attention it will bring and place it as a priority.  Also, by providing an address it helps them track the areas and perhaps isolate certain areas which they need to focus on. Another option, which may not be feasible for all is renting a Post Office Box at Post Office, 241 W. Rialto Avenue.  The small P.O. Boxes are only $39 for 6 months – less than $8.00 a month.
If you contact Supervisor Gary Rico, he will add one free month to your first six-month rental.

Crime Tip – How to Avoid being Skimmed at your ATM

CRIME TIP: How to Avoid being Skimmed
– Inspect the ATM, gas pump, or credit card reader before using it…be suspicious if you see anything loose, crooked, or damaged, or if you notice scratches or adhesive/tape residue.
– When entering your PIN, block the keypad with your other hand to prevent possible hidden cameras from recording your number.
– If possible, use an ATM at an inside location (less access for criminals to install skimmers).
– Be careful of ATMs in tourist areas…they are a popular target of skimmers.
– If your card isn’t returned after the transaction or after hitting “cancel,” immediately contact the financial institution that issued the card.

Coffee with the Chief February

Come out to this month’s coffee with a chief. This month it will be located at Carrows Restaurant on Baseline Ave.

I have found this event as a great way to connect with Rialto’s Top Cop and learn what’s going on within the confines of police work in Rialto.

Chief Tony Farrar has worked tirelessly to put together programs that help his police make Rialto a place to learn, live, work and play. Command staff that normally attends these meetings is Cap. Deanda, Lt. Karol and Community Liaison Officer Cpl. Neilson.

If you have a desire to know what’s going on you should attend.

If you have questions regarding Rialto’s Law Enforcement you should attend.

If you live, work, own a business or rental property you should attend.

See the Image below for details and we will see you there.

Golf with a Cop Clinic

Rialto Police Department is holding a Golf Clinic. This clinic is with a Cop & a Former Golf Pro.

It’s a great opportunity to get our youth involved while allowing them to learn that our Police Officers are not always there to arrest but to help people and make Rialto a great place to live.

Events like these remind me of when I was a kid and the Police and Fire would hand out baseball cards with their info on it. They would sign them give you a thumbs up as driving by or stop by the park to say hello to the community and kids.

Even though budget reductions have changed how our Public Safety officials reach out to the public I’m glad they still look for ways to reach out.

Let’s get our Children invovled!

Rialto Swat standoff

RIALTO — Police late Tuesday surrounded a home in a north city neighborhood attempting to deal with a barricaded man who might be armed.

It was the fourth time that day that police were called to the upscale neighborhood with many manicured lawns in the 2500 block of Amberwood Avenue.

As of 9:30 p.m., the homeowner remained barricaded in the house surrounded by the Inland Valley SWAT.

“The first three times we were called out was for loud music coming from the home,” said Rialto police spokesman Capt. Randy DeAnda. “The fourth time, around 3:15 p.m., was because a neighbor called and said the homeowner was walking around the neighborhood with a rifle.”

More than a dozen residents were evacuated and the SWAT was deployed after the homeowner, Richard Bright, 46, barricaded himself in his home.

“When officers arrived the rifle was found lying in his driveway,” DeAnda said. “But we don’t know what he has in the home.”

DeAnda said he was unaware of what type of rifle Bright had.

Bright lives alone in the home.

Residents in the neighborhood said that Bright has some issues that need to be dealt with.

One neighbor who wishes to remain anonymous due to fear of retaliation, said that Bright walks around in the early morning hours wearing a hoodie type sweatshirt and sunglasses pulling on door handles of neighborhood vehicles.

“I’ve seen him walk up to my door and just stand there,” said the neighbor. “He doesn’t say a word, he just stares at you and turns around and walks away.”

Law enforcement is aware of Bright’s strange behaviors.

“We believe he has some sort of psychiatric issues,” DeAnda said. “But we’ve established contact with him over the phone and are doing everything in our power to end this peacefully.”
