Milton Police Department

The rain may be taking some time off today, but it's expected to return tomorrow and Friday.

Before it does, here's a quick reminder:

• Slow down on wet roads
• Leave extra following distance
• Turn on your headlights
• Give motorcycles extra space

A little extra caution can go a long way when conditions change.

Stay safe, Milton.

Reminder for Milton residents!

We will be conducting a training exercise tomorrow and Wednesday, June 16-17, in the Bethany Bend and Cogburn Road area, primarily at King’s Ridge Christian School.

Training activities will take place roughly between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. each day. Residents may see an increased presence of police, fire, and other emergency vehicles in the area during that time.

We expect minimal impact on traffic. This is only a training exercise.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as our public safety personnel continue to train and strengthen their skills.

Hopewell Rd between Sandy Creek Farm Rd and Hopewell Close Dr is open.

Hopewell Rd from Sandy Creek Farm Rd to Hopewell Close Dr is closed due to downed power lines. It is being worked on but please seek alternate routes and plan accordingly.

Heads up for next week, Milton!

The Milton Police Department and the Milton Fire Department will conduct a training exercise in the Bethany Bend and Cogburn Rd area on June 16th and June 17th, mostly at King’s Ridge Christian School.

We expect minimal impact on traffic, and residents should expect to see emergency vehicles responding to the training exercise.

Police and Fire training are vital to the readiness of our emergency services, and training like this is crucial to ensure our officers and firefighters are prepared for critical events should they ever occur.

So, you're telling me it was a fish THIS big?

Anyway, have a safe weekend, Milton!

** UPDATE** 12:55 p.m.

Freemanville Road has reopened in both directions following the earlier closure caused by a fallen tree and downed power lines.

Thank you to the crews who worked to clear the roadway and restore powerlines and thank you to our community for your patience while this work was completed.

TRAFFIC ALERT

Freemanville Road is currently closed in both directions between Henderson South and Laconia Lane due to a fallen tree and multiple downed power lines.

Please avoid the area and use alternate routes while crews work to clear the roadway and make repairs.

We appreciate your patience and will provide updates as they become available.

Lt. Pacheco has one request:

Use your turn signal.

That's it.
That's the post.

Season 2 of Milton & Mane, the City of Milton's official podcast, has dropped!

What happens when the people who spend their careers helping others need support themselves?

This season kicks off with an important conversation about the Milton Police Department's Peer Support Team. Officers Pishock and Conaway share how the program came together, the training behind it, and why building trust is at the center of everything they do.

The discussion takes an honest look at the challenges first responders face, including stress, PTSD, and the importance of breaking down the stigma around asking for help. It also highlights the resources available to officers and the role peer support plays in keeping our team healthy, resilient, and ready to serve.

Take a listen to learn more about the work happening behind the scenes to support those who protect our community every day.
