Residents, Students, and Event Planners, a moratorium has been established requiring a permit for "flash parties" involving 25 or more people. This measure is aimed at ensuring public safety and protecting the community. By regulating large gatherings, public safety officials hope to manage potential risks and maintain a safe environment for all citizens. Compliance with this rule is essential to ensure that community events are enjoyable and secure for everyone involved.
Thank you for your continued cooperation in the safety of every community in the city.

Thank you, Chief Woodard, for your service, your sacrifice, and your heart. You will be profoundly missed, but your legacy will endure, igniting the spirit of courage in all of us.

We are saluting you, sir and definitely love you!
