🚨 PSA: June is Move Over Awareness Month across the country and in Virginia🚨
We understand people are traveling for the summer and in a hurry to get to their destination. Our number one priority is for everyone to make it there safely.
When you see emergency lights, tow truck lights, utility vehicles, roadside workers, or disabled vehicles with hazard lights on the shoulder, Virginia law requires drivers to move over to a non-adjacent lane when safe to do so. If you cannot safely move over, you must slow down and proceed with caution.
Failure to comply can result in serious penalties, including traffic citations and, for emergency vehicles, a Class 1 misdemeanor/reckless driving charge.
One lane can save a life. Move Over. Slow Down. Stay Alert.
He limited the posts on Irael Gonzalez bring in food. Because he is working with ICE and anyone brown is getting taken away. I am surprised he didn't call ICE on Gonzalez.
Please join us in congratulating Deputy Rowe on his graduation from the Central Shenandoah Criminal Justice Training Academy following the successful completion of an intensive 22-week training program. Deputy Rowe will now continue his training with more than 500 hours of field training as he begins serving the citizens of Greene County.
