Great discussions with Mayor Bolaños of Costa Rica
It was an
honor to meet Mayor Patricia Bolaños
Murillo of Alcaldesa, Costa Rica, and Arcadio Bolaños representing the Costa Rica Consulate. We
discussed international tourism, the similarities among our cities and
infrastructure improvements needed in the providence of Puntarenas.
I’m happy to report that we will be forming
an ongoing relationship with Alcaldesa, which I believe will be a great benefit
to both our communities.
The
annual Safety Officers Recognition (SOAR) Awards Ceremony was held last month
at Las Vegas City Hall. I am proud to say that North Las Vegas Police
Officer Shane Allen and North Las Vegas Fire Department Captain Dean
Campbell, Engineer Ryan Aughenbaugh, Paramedic/Firefighter Michael Zimmermann
and Firefighter Joseph Meyer were recognized for their tremendous
community service accomplishments.
Officer Allen has spent countless hours volunteering his
time working with young people in our community and currently leads our future
generation of officers in the Police Department's Explorer Program.
Our Fire Department unit was recognized for their fast-thinking
actions while responding to an emergency situation.
Congratulations to Officer Allen, the fire unit and all of the
award recipients. Your work in this community does not go unnoticed!
 
Hats
off to all of the Best of the Best for Vulnerable Road User Safety award
winners, especially North Las Vegas Police Officers Tim Milligan and Micheal
"Sully" Sullivan.
Officer Milligan was named
Fatal Accident Reconstruction Specialist Officer of the Year, and Officer Sully
received an award for his work educating young children and students about
crosswalk safety.
A well-deserved honor for two
amazing officers!
