HEY KECHI!!!!! ITS GARAGE SALE WEEKEND!!!!!

Listen up!!

If you’re the one tossing things in the driveway looking for a few extra bucks….. there are some things you need to know!!!…….. nobody is buying pit stained T shirts, nobody wants your “gently used” daisy dukes from Country Stampede four years ago, and nobody is paying $300 for a mattress that saw the Dallas Cowboys win a Super Bowl….. (that one hurt to type)….. YES bad people will scam you and here is how……

Counterfeit money…… it’s not as obvious as Monopoly money but it’s worth the same….. when accepting cash you can save yourself some heartache by doing a few simple things…..

***Use anti counterfeit pens. They’ll change color with fake money and you’ll know.

***Feel… real money has a certain feel to it.. you know what I mean.

***LOOK AT THE MONEY!!!! Some of it looks very close but will say “Motion picture only” on it……

Accepting the money isn’t the issue… the issue is when you give change for said money…. Now you’re out what you handed them.

Officers working during garage sale season…. Bad guys may try to hand you a “get out of jail free” card….. ITS NOT REAL!!! (Literally had this happen once and we both had a great laugh….. in booking) Officers, it’s a trick, don’t fall for it!!!!

Ok, that is all…… May you sell all your stuff, eat your Pizza Hut pizza without heartburn (Tip your Uber Eats), and your kid sells ALL THEIR LEMONADE!!!! (They are the real MVP out here!)

All the love!!

Happy Monday KECHI!!!!

The results are in from the "Click it or Ticket" Campaign....

CATSS....
This was a tough one and we had to pull out all the stops. We rolled out the new "Camouflage Assisted Traffic Safety System" or CATSS for short... it worked too well!! CATSS was out trying to catch the Silly Gooses who may be breaking traffic laws around our community. We only had one work comp claim... turns out poison ivy is a real problem..... (Meow, laugh a little, its good for you.....)

Here are the stats....

49 Speeding Violations
5 Hazardous Moving Violations
4 Suspended/Revoked Silly Gooses
with a total of 66 contacts.

79 violations in total, most of which were enforced with written warnings or verbal correction. 25.5 hours were spent in this enforcement period.

NHTSA sponsors the "Click it or Ticket" campaign through KDOT. It is a great resource for promoting traffic safety. All staff working this program had their salaries paid for by KDOT and NHTSA.

While we love to laugh and have a great time here in Kechi, please wear your seatbelt as they do save lives.

Have a blessed week!!!

Yup, it’s 10:30….. yup we see the weather…..

This is what we midwesterners call… “good sleeping weather”…. A slight rumble, some wind and rain…. Maybe a storm warning…..

This is where we say… “If it’s my time, it’s my time” and roll back over to sleep 😂😂😂😂

On a real note… we will be monitoring. Don’t think it’s going to be anything too bad.

Good night Kechonians!

[June 1, 2026 - 9:27 PM] A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for parts of Kansas and Oklahoma until 4 AM CDT.

HEADED TO COUNCIL TONIGHT WITH SOME BIG IDEAS!!!!!!

Fuel is expensive….. hear me out!!!

Which one do we ask for and why is it all of them!!!!!

05/28/2026

AAARRRGGHHH YOU READY FOR SUMMER!!??

No this is not a scene from the newest modern day Pirates of the Caribiean.... more like "Pirates of Suburbia"....

Listen up fam!!!

School is out and there are a few youth/young adults who have nothing better to do with their time..... When four of them group up they put together all three of their brain cells and decide to do dumb things... like burglarize your easily accessible items.

This time of year we see a huge uptick in "pulling handles". The suspects will travel in groups. Usually two or three walking down the street pulling every car handle they can. They are usually wearing backpacks and most of the time gloves and some kind of mask. There is a mobile lookout driving a vehicle. Usually blacked out and rolling down the street for a quick getaway. They are looking for crimes of opportunity and are unphased by your camera system as they are covered and gloved.

"OOOHHHH FOR THE LOVE OF ALL MY KEEPSAKES, HOW DO WE THWART THESE SCALLYWAGS...!!??"

Glad you asked! TAKE YOUR THINGS OUT OF YOUR CAR AND LOCK IT!!!!! Whew, that was tough....

It is LITERALLY that simple folks. Take your Hi-point pistol, that $7,000.00 cash you just pulled from the ATM, and your mommas pearls... INSIDE YOUR HOME!!

Should they decide to enter your home with intent to do harm.... well, that's between you, them, and God. Handle it accordingly.

Love ya'll and stay safe!
(If you see something, say something)

Sincerely,
Your bois in blue

Silly Goose,

You can’t ride into town on a stolen horse with that “go fast” crystal…… what you think’n man…. 😏

Also. Make sure your windshield isn’t broken if you’re trying to be slick 👀

Pro Tip: Sometimes folks will recover their own stolen vehicles…. It happens…. Just make sure you call and have the police remove it from NCIC.

(1300 E. Kechi Rd)
All suspects are innocent until proven guilty…..

Pronounced…. In a cent… like Abe Lincoln.

Ohhh and a shoutout to the coolest of friends for the Bit-o-honey while I waited for the tow…. The real MVP!

YOUR Kechi bois out here putting work. 😎
