Congratulations to the Mounted Unit who recently competed in the 2009 North American Police Equestrian Championships in Harrisburg, Pa.
The unit won first-place awards in every category. It was first time that a single police agency won all of the categories. It was also the first time that a single officer won first place in both the Equitation Event and the Obstacles Event.
Mayor Jim Newberry and Police Chief Ronnie Bastin honored both riders and horses who took part in the competition.

Personal Holiday Safety
The holiday season is a time when people can become careless and vulnerable to theft and other holiday crime. The following tips from the Lexington Division of Police Crime Prevention Section can help you be more careful, prepared and aware during the holiday season. 
Shop during daylight hours whenever possible. If you must shop at night, go with a friend or family member.
Dress casually and comfortably.
Avoid wearing expensive jewelry.
Always carry your driver’s license or ID card along with only the necessary cash, check, and/or credit card you expect to use.
Even though you are rushed and thinking about a thousand things, stay alert to your surroundings.
Avoid carrying large amounts of cash.
Keep cash in your front pocket.
Notify the credit card issuer immediately if your credit card is lost or stolen.
Keep a record of all of your credit card numbers in a safe place at home.
Don’t leave packages visible in your car. Use your trunk to store your packages.
Avoid overloading yourself with packages. It is important to have clear visibility and freedom of motion to avoid mishaps.
Home Holiday Safety
Be extra cautious about locking doors and windows when you leave the house, even for a few minutes.
When leaving home for an extended time, have a neighbor or family member watch your house and pick up your newspapers and mail.
Indoor and outdoor lights should be on an automatic timer.
Leave a radio or television on so the house looks and sounds occupied.
Large displays of holiday gifts should not be visible through the windows and doors of your home.
When setting up a Christmas tree or other holiday display, make sure doors and passageways are clear inside your home.
Be sure your Christmas tree is mounted on a sturdy base so children, elderly persons or family pets cannot pull it over on themselves.
