Malicious Mischief to Miracle League Field

MONROE – March 4, 2010 at 7:55 am: Officers were dispatched to the Miracle League Field in Monroe after City of Monroe Park personnel discovered vandalism to the field. Upon arrival the police discovered graffiti on the wall directly behind home plate. City of Monroe Park personnel estimate damages to the property could reach $5,000.

This is the third case of graffiti to the Miracle League Field in the past couple of months. These acts, which may be intended to be “pranks,” are anything but that. Senseless damage such as this translates to significant costs to the City, and ultimately Monroe citizens.  Labor costs for parks employees to repair and/or replace the damage, as well as police officer response and reporting time add up to thousands of dollars.

The City is asking for your help. If you know anything about these incidents, or observe similar acts, please notify police immediately. Contact can be made with the Monroe Police Department during business hours at (360) 794-6300. Anonymous information may be left on the Department’s Tip Line at (360) 863-4600. In the event of in-progress damage or suspicious activity, immediately call 9-1-1.

The Rotary Club of Monroe is offering a $500 reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of person(s) responsible for this recent vandalism to the Miracle League Field. This field that serves the needs of disabled kids and adults in the Sky Valley area was dedicated in September of 2009 after years of fundraising by the Rotary, local business donations and support from City and State representatives.

Monroe Police Department Offers 2010 Citizen’s Academy

MONROE – The Monroe Police Department is accepting applications for the 2010 Citizen’s Academy which will begin in March of 2010. The Citizen’s Academy is an eight-week course to provide Monroe community members an academy setting with first–hand information about how their Police Department works.

The Academy is designed to increase understanding between citizens and the Police through education. This course will acquaint citizens with the role of law enforcement within the criminal justice system, and to increase understanding of the tasks police officers face in their daily work.

Academy participation requires a commitment of one night a week for the eightweek period, plus two Saturday sessions. The sessions include demonstrations by the Special Emergency Response Team (SERT), Apprehension and Narcotics K9 teams.

Classes include information on identity theft, Internet safety, domestic violence, child abuse, use of force, major crimes and investigations, narcotics and many others. Students will tour local prison facilities, have the opportunity to drive a police car on an Emergency Vehicle Operation Course (EVOC), and to “fire” simulated police rounds in a mock training scenario.

The Academy will begin March 2, 2010. Applications may be picked up at the front counter of the Monroe Police Department, 818 W Main Street, Monroe or visit our web-site at:
