L The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Thursday, December 13, 2001 9 "Post Office honors police By M.B. GILLIGAN Post Correspondent DALLAS - The Dallas Post- master began his Customer Ap- preciation Day last Thursday by acknowledging his own appreci- ation for another group of public servants. The police chiefs of Dallas Borough and Dallas Township were awarded plaques, which showcase the new “United We Stand” postage stamp. Karl L. Keck, postmaster, pre- sented the plaques which read, in part, “Maintaining visibility in volatile areas, investigating inci- dents, enforcement of the laws that keep us civilized, and en- suring the public safety are some of the avenues traveled by the men and women in blue each and every day — The Unit- ed States Postal Service at Dal- las, PA recognizes the sacrifices, motivation and talent demon- strated by these brave men and women” In addition to the plaques each police officer in the two forces will receive a lapel pin depicting the stamp. Things have changed since the September 11 terrorist attacks. In addition to their usual duties, postal workers and police offi- cers are also handling cus- tomers worried about tainted -mail. “The Post Office here has handled three cases that all turned out to be negative,” said Keck. “Since September 11, we receive a daily message about what we are going to do to main- tain safety. Each employee is is- sued face protection, protective gloves and is aware of what symptoms to look for.” The entire U.S. Postal Service of 800,000 employees is watch- ing out for all suspicious mail. “That is a giant force when i q ? i i | i Postal customer Bartt Slocum of Dallas is offered cake by postal clerk, Carol Sosik.

The Post Office sent each cus- tomer a post card listing steps to take if they should receive sus- picious mail. They should look for oddities in packaging like too much tape, a lot of postage stamps, no return address or a questionable return address. Such packages should be placed in a bag and isolated and the customer should call 911. “We've also met with our large mailers and told them how to ‘ough Commissioner Patricia Peiffer. “Some calendars used to come with baby powder in them to keep the pages from sticking together.” Karl L.

This time the cake depicted a replica of the “United We Stand” postage stamp. In addition to the cake, coffee, juice and chocolates were available to cus- tomers throughout the day. “It’s a small gesture to say thank you to our customers,” said Keck. Police respond — (continued from page 1) his department is receiviz more faxes than ever on things to look for and how to respond to different situations the offi- cers may encounter. Since the September 11 attacks, priorities in patrol zones have changed for the department. Officers are also taking more notice of passports they may encounter. Training is also playing a key in preparing officers. “There’s a lot of truck traffic that comes through here. We are a shortcut. Every place is a target.” John Fowler Dallas Borough Police Chief “Terrorism wasn't a priority at one time, until September 11,” said Fowler. But with two main routes supplying traffic through the Back Mountain, it is now. “There's a lot of truck traffic that comes through here. We are a shortcut,” said Fowler. “Every place is a target.” Time is of the essence in pre- venting and solving any crime. For Fowler that means having the community act as the eyes and ears of the police force. “People have to realize that they have to wake up and get in- volved,” Fowler said. “Just look for anything out of the ordinary,” said Fowler. He stresses the most important thing for citizens to do if they see something is to pick up the phone and dial 911.
