Trying to wrangle this fella up. Could be a new spin on a “K9 Unit”. “Fox Unit”? Need to work on the name.

Although, now I’m having second thoughts. He(she?) just got chased off by a Goose. Hmmmm. Maybe a “Goose Unit” would be more effective. Still need to work on the name.

Suns out, guns out this week on American Chair Volleyball Gladiators 💪🔥

Gladiator Al “Ironclad” and Gladiator Linda “The Hammer” showed up BIG for Team Fox Valley and brought the heat. The competition was fierce, the muscles were flexed, and everyone came ready to battle.

At this point, we might need to start testing for PEDs… because this crew is getting extra yoked 👀

Only the strong survive on American Chair Volleyball Gladiators 🏐🔥

📞 National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week 📞

This week, we proudly recognize and celebrate the voices behind the badge, our public safety telecommunicators.

We appreciate all telecommunicators and the critical role they play in public safety, especially the telecommunicators at the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office who provide dispatch services for our officers. Your professionalism, dedication, and ability to stay calm under pressure do not go unnoticed.

These dedicated professionals are the first point of contact in emergencies. They answer the calls no one else wants to make, gather critical information, and ensure that help is sent quickly and safely. Whether it is a routine call or a life threatening situation, they remain calm, focused, and ready to act.

While you may never see them on a call, their impact is felt in every response we make. They are truly the unseen heroes of public safety.

Please join us in thanking our telecommunicators for their hard work, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to keeping our community safe.

👏 Thank you for everything you do!
