Sheriff reports drop in collisions and announces free human-trafficking seminar
Summary
Sheriff Ryan Swarovski reported a large reduction in July collisions, described cooperative drug-trafficking enforcement, and announced a free human-trafficking seminar in September at Maysville Community and Technical College open to the public and first responders.
Mason County Sheriff Ryan Swarovski told the fiscal court on Aug. 13 that July saw a "huge reduction" in collisions and outlined ongoing enforcement work, including participation in a statewide drug-trafficking roundup.
"We were fortunate to see a huge reduction in collisions for the month of July," Swarovski said, adding that the office continues to monitor data to improve roadway safety. He cited local tactics, including placement of vehicles and other measures, that the sheriff's office credits with reducing collisions.
Swarovski also announced a free public human-trafficking seminar in September at Maysville Community and Technical College. He said the county has arranged for a nationally recognized expert to speak and encouraged attendance by police officers, EMS, fire personnel, educators and other community members. "It's open to the public," he said, and described the registration process (search "Human Trafficking Training Center" or visit humantraffickingtrainingcenter.com; the sheriff's office can assist with registration).
The sheriff's report also referenced recent investigative activity: Swarovski said his office participated with state police in a drug-trafficking roundup that led to the arrest of a trafficker investigated for some time.
No formal action was required for the announcements; the court thanked the sheriff for the report.
