If the kids are swimming, YOU must supervise.

SWIMMING SAFETY TIPS:

There Is No Substitute for Active Supervision.

Actively supervise children in and around open bodies of water, giving them your undivided attention.

Whenever infants or toddlers are in or around water, an adult should be within arm’s reach to provide active supervision. We know it’s hard to get everything done without a little multitasking, but this is the time to avoid distractions of any kind. If children are near water, then they should be the only thing on your mind. Small children can drown in as little as one inch of water.

When there are several adults present and children are swimming, use the Water Watcher card strategy, which designates an adult as the Water Watcher for a certain amount of time (such as 15-minute periods) to prevent lapses in supervision.

Interstate Fatal Crash Investigation

The Marietta Police Department Selective Traffic Enforcement Program is investigating a motor vehicle crash that occurred just after midnight Tuesday morning, in the middle lanes of I-75 Southbound approaching the bridge over South Marietta Parkway.

The initial on scene investigation revealed that a 2022 Kawasaki Ninja, being ridden by 27-year-old Parker Faucett of Canton Georgia lost control, for unknown reasons, and laid the bike down on the interstate. Passing motorists were involved and stopped to render aid. Faucett did not survive the crash. Investigators are still working to determine the circumstances that caused Faucett to lose control. Anyone with additional information is urged to contact Traffic Investigator Henry at (770) 794-5266.

Congratulations to our most recent group of Citizens Police Academy graduates! Special thanks to Officer Matthew Staso and our Community Response Unit for organizing this multi-week program.

If you have not taken one of these yet, you should consider it. Partnering with your local law enforcement agency just makes sense. You will ALWAYS know what seems "off" or "suspicious" in your own neighborhood...wouldn't it be nice to know who to call, and what your local options are?

These graduates spent time with each of our special units, toured our facilities, and then visited the Cobb County Medical Examiner's Office and our local Cobb County Department of Emergency Communications 911 center. Having direct access to all the different groups allowed for plenty of question and answer time. THANK YOU to all who attended as well as taught. We appreciate you investing in the safety of our community.

While most of us slept…
LT Slatton cooked dinner for his overnight crew.

THANK YOU to all who work overnight!
