ITEMS OF INTEREST:
Winter is fast approaching, and with it comes winter vehicle safety. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office would like to remind all vehicle owners and operators that some basic precautions can help save lives in the event of a breakdown or an accident. A first-aid kit should be kept in an easily-accessible place in your vehicle. Make sure that you regularly inventory your kit to ensure that it is fully stocked. Every vehicle should also have at least one warm blanket at all times of the year. During the winter, it is best to have one or two extras, in case of emergencies. Flashlights and batteries should also be checked to make sure they are in working order. Non-perishable food items, such as nuts or granola bars, are also nice to have on hand. A candle and matches round out an emergency kit.
The best thing to do is to have your vehicle inspected and properly maintained in accordance with the season. Snow tires should be inspected to ensure they are in good shape before they are mounted on your vehicle. Fluids should be topped off. A dirty windshield can be very dangerous, especially in the bright sunlight. Be sure to keep all windows clean for maximum safety.

Weekly Report 10/08/14 – 10/14/14
ITEMS OF INTEREST:
Hunting season is upon us. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office extends its wishes to all hunters for a safe and successful season. We all know that safety while hunting is of the greatest importance, but the steps we take ahead of time are equally vital to ensuring a safe hunt.
Be sure that your firearm or bow is cleaned an in proper working order. If you are using a firearm, ensure that you have the proper ammunition. All hunters should carry a compass and safety whistle. Even if you are only planning on hunting for a short period of time, carrying some supplies with you is always a good idea. At the very least, some water and non-perishable foods (such as dried fruit or granola bars) should be included in your day pack. A simple first-aid kit is also a necessity.
The best preventative measure you can take very well may be leaving a note. Be sure that someone who lives with you, or who is close to you, knows where you are hunting. Leave a note detailing the place you plan to start out and how far you plan to go. It’s a good idea to say when you will be leaving and when you expect to be back.

Mr. Strout’s pickup truck crossed the center line of the roadway and struck the Peterbuilt truck nearly head on. Mr. Strout was then pronounced deceased at the scene by emergency personnel. Mr. Strout also had his juvenile son with him in the truck. His son was not hurt, but was transported to Down East Community Hospital as a precaution. Mr. Robinson was not hurt in the collision.
