Finally on April 27th we celebrated a day that so many of us have been waiting for – the
August was a busy month as we welcomed students back to school and our Police Department held multiple Walk-to-School events with our partners from the Health Department. Gonzales PD did a great job connecting with the community and talking to parents and students about safety practices while they made their way to and from school. Please continue to be mindful when using the roads and watch out for them.
August 5th was also National Night Out. It was a great turnout, and the community was able to talk to our officers and enjoy educational activities and resources while enjoying food provided by the Salvation Army, as well as getting to try their luck at winning some donated raffle prizes. Thank you to all of those of you who joined us. We will see you all next year!

New Fire Appratus
If you have been following along, you may
have heard that our two Fire Trucks are an
issue, being over 22 and 17 years old
respectively, they experience numerous
issues, posing a threat to the life and safety
of our residents. Staff had been working for
years to replace them to no avail. Finally, in
May of this year, staff was able to secure 83%
of the funding for a New Fire Truck through
the Montery County’s Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program.
With more than half of money needed in hand, staff then went to the Measure K Oversight Committee and asked for the rest of the money needed to purcahse the Truck. Measure K agreed to allocate the rest of the funds needed to secure the New Fire Truck, which is now set to be delivered to us in mid-September. This huge accomplishment could not have been possible without the support of our County of Monterey partners and the Measure K Committee! We want to thank them for their support and for ensuring that our community stays safe.
