Peace Officers Memorial Day
In 1962, President Kennedy signed a proclamation designating Peace Officers Memorial Day – May 15 this year – and the week in which that date falls as Police Week. Each year our nation loses between 140 and 160 law enforcement officers in the line of duty. The Longmont Police Department pays annual tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and due to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, the Peace Officers Memorial has been prerecorded. You can find the service at LongmontColorado.gov; search “Peace Officer Memorial.”

Seeking Sustainability Technicians 
Do you know Longmont residents who would like to earn extra income over the summer while contributing to the city’s sustainability and community resilience initiatives? The City of Longmont’s Sustainable Opportunities, Lifestyles and Leadership Program (SOLL) is training neighborhood-based “sustainability technicians” to install green, low-maintenance, cost-saving measures and to offer education and outreach for City services related to sustainability and community resiliency. The program will be launched in three Longmont neighborhoods. Health and safety wear and guidelines will be provided.

Say “No” to the Hose!
Beautiful days and warm nights are here so it’s natural to want to tidy up and enjoy our outdoor spaces. Instead of hosing off your driveway, patio or sidewalk, grab a broom and sweep them. They’ll still get clean and you’ll save water and money. Learn more waterwise tips and tricks at bit.ly/sustainability-longmont.
