Safety Spotlight - Special Edition Did You Know? March 2017 Occasionally, we hear citizens mention, “I didn’t know you did that” or “when did you start offering this?” In this edition we wanted to share a few of our services and some information on contacting the non-emergency dispatch number. In addition, the implementation of a new app, SirenGPS, that assists first responders in locating you during an emergency. The city recently updated the smoking ordinance. It shall be unlawful for any person to perform the following acts in any public building or within 20 feet of an entry or exit: Smoke in a public place  Carry a lighted cigarette, cigar or tobacco-containing pipe, or operating an electronic smoking device.  Light a cigarette, cigar or tobacco containing pipe, or an electronic smoking device.  The departments do a spring and fall cleaning day at Dragon Stadium. Each event has electronics recycling, household hazardous waste disposal and document shredding. Our next event is Saturday, April 15th from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at Dragon Stadium. You can now download an app on your phone that gives first responders a near-exact location when calling from a cell phone for emergency needs (currently available in Southlake, Keller, Colleyville and Westlake areas only). Our dispatch center, NETCOM, is a regional dispatch center that takes care of the cities of Colleyville, Keller, Southlake and Westlake. If you have an emergency call 9-1-1. If not, the non-emergency number is 817-743-4522.
