Candlewick Lake Public Safety

WEEKLY REPORT

Week Ending 2/9/2015

Rescue Calls

Public Safety responded to four (4) medical calls this past week. All four subjects were transported to the hospital.

Vehicles in Ditch

Public Safety responded to three (3) vehicles being in ditches last weekend. This was certainly due to the snow event. This is a marked improvement over the prior event.

Damage to CWL Property

Public Safety responded to the West Gate for a nonresident vehicle striking the gate and a piece of gate being broke off. Apparently a construction vehicle attempted to enter by “piggy backing” through the gate. The resident the construction vehicle followed summoned Public Safety and provided the identity of the vehicle. Our Officer was able to apprehend the violator. They will be making restitution. This incident is captured on video.

Traffic Accidents

The Public Safety Department responded to two (2) traffic accidents. Although on CWL property, these accidents were outside of the gates and on the perimeter of CWL property. BCSO was summoned for both incidents. The accidents were both related to road conditions from the snow event.

Dog Call

There was only one (1) dog call this past week.

Lake Patrol

The Lake Patrol was slower on CWL than the past several weeks. We suspect this is also a result of the snow event. The Public Safety Lake Patrol did check numerous fishermen later in the week with positive results of compliance. Last weekend the IDNR did make an appearance on the Lake and checked numerous fishermen. We did not hear of any particular issues.

Due to the warm temperatures on Saturday, CWL was beginning to get somewhat sloppy. There was only a few fishermenon Sunday.
