April 3, 2020 - Along with Shelby County and myself, Tanya Belin, I would like to recognize James Ragan for his dedication to our community. Ragan goes above and beyond for our county with passing out cases of bottled water to people in need and visiting the parks sanitizing everything for the children. I am Shelby County proud and cannot thank this young man enough for all he's doing for our community.

April 1, 2020 - With the spread of coronavirus, one of the key things to do is to stay clean and disinfect objects you use on a daily basis.
Jason Fulbright with Intelligent Concepts shares two things that typically get overlooked - your computer's keyboard and mouse or your laptop's keyboard and touch pad. In the past cleaning a virus from a computer required software and some computer knowledge. However, today's threat isn't to your computer's operating system but to your computer's operator - you.
So with that in mind, it’s time, if you haven’t already, to clean your keyboard and mouse.
First off, it goes without saying, your laptop or desktop computer should be off when doing this but be sure to shutdown correctly and not just pull the plug.
If your desktop computer has wired keyboard and mouse devices, they need to be disconnect. If you are new to unplugging either, make sure you notate where they unplug from so you can replug them in once you are done cleaning. If you have a wireless model keyboard or mouse, power them off with a power button or switch if available. If no power off option is available, then just remove the battery.
Use Lysol/Clorox wipes if you have that available. If not, spray some Lysol on a damp cloth. Wipe all the keys and areas where your hands rest. Also, you may want to flip your desktop keyboard over and gently shake loose any particles that have gotten trapped under keys.
Wipe the entire surface of your mouse. If it has a wheel on top, gently spin the wheel with the cloth until you have made several turns.
You are done with disinfecting your keyboard and mouse. Make sure it is dry before plugging them back up or turning them back on.
April 1, 2020 - We know child abuse feels a world away from the all-consuming crisis our world finds itself in – but we know it rages on in the background of every major crisis as it is an ongoing, seemingly permanent, public health crisis affecting 1 in 10 children.
April is Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness Month, join us as we share the signs, symptoms, and stories of how we continue to serve child victims of abuse in this new landscape. #ChildAbusePrevention #ShelbyCountycares

If you have a flag you would like the J J E Gibson Chapter to retire, we will be glad to do so when we are approved to schedule the event. Thank you for your understanding at this time.

Update: 44 units collected with 8 defereals sets new record for Center PD Blood Drive
March 25, 2020 - Due to COVID-19 altering the day to day operations of most people and causing events to be cancelled, the Center Police Department stepped up when the Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center put out a notice needing emergency blood drives.
On March 25th, the citizens of Shelby County did not disappoint with their support as well. Blood drive chairperson Amy Lindley, who is a dispatcher for the Center Police Department, advised she has had the most pre-signups ever with 31 appointments being set. The blood drive which started at 10am Wednesday was just drawing to an end at 5pm with walk-up donors pushing them past their projected 4pm end time.
Lindley did say that in the past, a good blood drive averaged 10 to 15 pre-signups so she is excited to see what the final numbers for this drive will be. She anticipates it will easily surpass the Christmas Eve blood drive which had a record 35 people with only 3 deferrals. As of 3:30pm, they had already exceeded those numbers.
March 16, 2020 - This is Scary times these days, but the need for Blood has not went away! Donations are needed even more now. Please help Save Lives!
Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center will be set up at the Center Police Department hosting an Emergency Blood Drive in the parking lot on March 25th from 10am until 4pm. There will be two (2) donor coaches set up in the parking lot. Please spread the word and help us help others! One (1) donation helps saves 3 lives!
Contact Amy at the PD 936-598-2450 to sign up for scheduled times, or go to www.giveblood.org to schedule a time.
All attempted donors will receive a Free T-SHIRT!
