AGRO-GUARD
AGRO-GUARD
is a community policing program specifically designed for the
agriculture industry. In our changing world,
proactive measures are required to prevent the intentional or
accidental contamination of America's food supply.
AGRO-GUARD is a partnership between front line industry
personnel and local law enforcement for the purpose of
identifying suspects and detecting suspicious activity in or
around food chain facilities.
Further, AGRO-GUARD provides educational information concerning
highly contagious disease signs and symptoms, and provides
guidance on practicing bio-security measures that will add an
additional level of protection for the industry.
For more information about this program, contact Ford County
Undersheriff James Lane at 620/227-4590.

National Fire Prevention Week
According to the National Fire Protection
Association in 2008, home fires killed 2,755 people and
injured 13,160. Two of every five home fire deaths were in a
home with no smoke alarms and another one in five was in a
home where the smoke alarms were not working.
During
Fire Prevention Week 2010
(October 3 - 9) our aim is to educate the public on how
smoke alarms save lives and why they should be installed and
maintained in every home. Having working smoke alarms can
cut the chances of dying in a fire in half. The theme will
focus on how to choose, install, and maintain smoke alarms.
