Just thought I would throw this out there.
If anyone is interested, La Mesa PD is hosting an open house for the new police station on Saturday, Sept 4, from 11 am to 3 pm. The POA is selling hot dogs and stuff as a fund raiser. Otherwise it's free and the general public is invited. It's a really cool building with some pretty state of the art stuff. A lot of planning and effort went into trying to make this a station that would help everyone there do their jobs better.
The new station is located right at the intersection of Baltimore Drive and University Ave in La Mesa if anyone is interested.
That sounds like fun! Will you be there? ?
Oh, man. I wish I could go, but I have to work until 4:00 pm Saturday. Best wishes for a successful open house. :)
Sounds very cool, Jason. I'll try to nip out on Saturday and stop by!
Yes I will be there.
I'm not going to be there the whole time though. They are going to have volunteers at each of 15 different stations that will be able to explain to the public the different aspects of the place. Both investigations and SRT wanted me to volunteer to host their stations, but that would have precluded me being able to bring my wife and kids. So I'll be there probably at 11:00 am.
Gary, if you want to meet up you can meet me at the front entrance at around 11:00. We can all go around together if you want. I'll have my cell phone on me so if we miss just give me a call and we can better coordinate. Same goes for anyone else that's interesting in going when I'm there :)
It's a scam. I'm on to you Jason. You want all of us to come so you can arrest us.
I've seen that sting operation before. ;D
Tim, you crack me up!
Ahhhhhh snap! I just got offered overtime this weekend, so I am taking it. That means I won't be able to make to the Open House tomorrow, but I hope it goes well for all!!! on't worry, I'll still see you all tomorrow night! Yeah!!!! ;D
Timmeh!!!

Thanks for posting these articles Brian.
Just my observation, I don't think of La Mesa as Mayberry, as the mayor said. I think it's more like Mos Eisley. Sorry Mayor, but you're gonna need more than Barney Fife to keep that city in line.
Second observation, the secure parking below the new station will NOT house the cities entire fleet of vehicles. That would mean the mayor and all the public works vehicles would be parking in a secure police parking lot with access to lockers that that would be storing all our police equipment. That will be police parking only lol.

That's exactly the scene I was thinking of. I'm really glad that when Sir Alec Guiness did the remake that he decided to "keep it real" instead of using words like "wretched hive of scum and villainy."
HAAAHAHAHA!!! :D
I'm glad Taylor chose to put on Disney....loud, at that exact moment Sir Alex spoke.
