Before we get to the festivities, we'd like to you remind you that the freedoms we celebrate today don't include your choice to drive impaired. If you find yourself having drinks or using cannabis, get a ride. If you feel different, you drive different.

We are under a severe weather alert due to unhealthy air quality thanks to wildfire smoke from Canada. Experts recommend limiting time outdoors. Effectively immediately, the PFPD is canceling all crime. We ask all criminals to stay indoors & refrain from being goofy. K.Thx.Byeee!

Happy Juneteenth! A day to celebrate freedom and to reflect on work yet to be done. June 19th recognizes the emancipation of enslaved African Americans, celebrates African American culture & should be cause for all Americans to reflect on the meaning of freedom to our nation.
