ReMax Community Chest (Stanwood-Camano Area Foundation)
Educational Workshops: Offering residents training on emergency preparedness, personal safety, and cybersecurity.
Facilitate Community Events: Bringing law enforcement and residents together for positive interactions and dialogue.
The deployment of a radar speed trailer directly addresses concerns about speeding and traffic safety on Camano Island. By providing real-time feedback to drivers, the trailer encourages voluntary compliance with posted speed limits, reduces the risk of accidents, and fosters a safer environment for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists. The trailer also aids law enforcement in identified problem areas and implements targeted traffic safety strategies.
The acquisition of less-lethal launchers equips Camano Island deputies with valuable tools to de-escalate potentially dangerous situations, reducing the risk of injury or fatality for both officers and community members. These launchers provide a safer alternative to traditional firearms, allowing for effective law enforcement while prioritizing the preservation of life.
