Police Stand Off With Man - August 19
Media Release:
On 08-18-07 at approximately 9:21 P.M. Waynesboro Police were dispatched to a residence in the 400 block of Florence Ave,
for two stabbing victims, with a perpetrator still on the scene. Upon arrival police found an approximately 40 year old Stuarts Draft Male with multiple serious stab wounds and subsequently encountered an approximately 40 year old female resident of the house as she fled the residence that had also been cut, but not seriously. Police evacuated the victims for treatment and transport by rescue personnel and established a secure perimeter at the scene. Information obtained by officers on the scene indicated that the perpetrator was still in the residence as was an unknown age handicapped occupant. The suspect called 911 and threatened to shoot the police and then himself, but ultimately offered no resistance as officers removed the handicapped female through the front door of the residence. This was accomplished while the suspect was in another part of the residence. Officers maintained a secure perimeter and Negotiations were begun with the suspect. The suspect continued to allege that he was armed and thus the Waynesboro Police Department SWAT was notified to respond. In addition, we were assisted by Augusta County SWAT as well as other deputies who assisted on the perimeter and in the immediate area. Telephonic Negotiations continued with the suspect for over three hours and included two instances of face to face Negotiations which ultimately lead to his surrender at approximately 12:37 A.M.
The suspect is identified as Vincent M Brown 38 years of age of Waynesboro. He is currently being held without bond on one count of Malicious Wounding. Additional Charges are pending completion of the ongoing investigation.

VA State Police Back To School Safety Tips - Augst 15
Back To School Safety Tips
APPOMATTOX “As summer draws to a close, everyone needs to spend some time thinking about back-to-school safety issues”, said Sergeant David O. Cooper Public Information Officer for the state police.
For 23.5 million students nationwide, the school day begins and ends with a trip on a school bus. Students’ greatest risk is not in riding the bus, but in getting to the bus or entering or leaving it. Motorists need to be aware of the risks.
* Yellow flashing lights mean the bus is preparing to stop and load or unload children. Motorist need to slow down and prepare to stop.
* Red flashing lights and an extended stop arm mean the bus has stopped and children are boarding or exiting the bus. Motorist must come to a complete stop a safe distance from the bus and wait until the red lights stop flashing, the stop arm is retracted, and the bus begins moving before they start driving again.
* Have a safe place to wait for your bus, away from traffic and the street.
* Stay away from the school bus until it comes to a complete stop and the driver signals you to enter.
* When being dropped off, exit the bus and walk ten gaited steps away from the school bus. Keep a safe distance between you and the school bus. Remember that the bus driver can see you best when you are back away from the bus.
* Use the handrails to enter and exit the bus
* Be aware of the street traffic around you. Drivers are required to follow certain rules of the road concerning buses, however, not all do. Protect yourself and watch out.
Riding to school in a car
* You might have heard before that most traffic crashes occur close to home- they do.
* Safety belts are the best form of protection drivers and passengers have in the event of a crash. They can lower your risk of injury or death.
* You are four times more likely to be seriously injured or killed if ejected from the vehicle in a crash.
* Everyone needs to be buckled up properly. That means older kids in seat belts, younger kids in child safety seats.
* The initial license issued to any person younger than 18 of age shall be deemed a provisional driver’s license. Until the holder is 18 years old, a provisional driver’s shall not authorize its holder to operate a motor with more than one passenger who is less than 18 years old for the first year after the license is issued nor more than three passengers who are less than 18 years old thereafter until the holder’s eighteenth birthday. This passenger limitation, however shall not apply to the members of the driver’s family or household.

VDOT TO RE-INSPECT BRIDGES STARTING THIS WEEK
VDOT TO RE-INSPECT BRIDGES STARTING THIS WEEK
11 Structures Similar to Minnesota Bridge Will Receive Independent Review
RICHMOND—As an additional measure to ensure the safety of Virginia ’s bridges in light of the bridge collapse in Minnesota earlier this month, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will begin re-inspecting 11 deck-truss structures in Virginia beginning Aug. 15 to ensure that there are no safety issues.
VDOT is also launching a new Web site today to provide citizens with the latest information about VDOT’s bridges. The new site, www.VirginiaDOT.org/bridges will provide a clearinghouse for citizens to gather information about Virginia ’s ongoing efforts to ensure bridge safety.
VDOT and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) conducted a detailed review of inspection records for all structures in the commonwealth immediately following the collapse of the Minnesota bridge earlier this month. Engineers determined that 12 of the commonwealth’s 20,000 structures feature deck-truss design elements.
VDOT immediately issued orders to review the most recent inspection records of these bridges to identify any potential safety issues. All 12 bridges had been inspected within the last two years, some as recently as May of 2007.
“We found no significant findings noted in the inspection reports that would indicate any safety issues in these bridges,” said VDOT’s Chief Engineer Malcolm T. Kerley. “Although no one will know for many months exactly what caused the Minnesota bridge collapse or if it is related to its deck-truss design, we want to be sure that there were no structural safety issues on any of our deck-truss bridges. Therefore, we are sending independent inspection teams, different from those who last inspected the bridge, to physically re-inspect the structures as an added safety measure.”
The inspections will begin Aug. 15 and will be completed by mid-September. Inspection reports are due to VDOT by Oct. 1. For a schedule of these bridge inspections, click here.http://www.virginiadot.org/info/resources/steel_deck_trusses.pdf
One of the 12 bridges identified in the commonwealth with deck-truss design, the Route 100 Bridge over the New River in Wythe County , is already being replaced. The old structure still stands, but does not currently carry traffic. VDOT will not re-inspect that bridge as traffic is already shifted to the replacement bridge. The other 11 bridges will receive a detailed, hands-on inspection by trained consultant bridge inspection teams.
“The bridge collapse in Minnesota is a tragedy that reminds us that there is no more important priority than the safety of our roadways and bridges,” said VDOT Commissioner David S. Ekern. “Work is already under way to replace four of the 12 deck-truss bridges we have in Virginia .”
VDOT has a robust structure inspection program that exceeds federal guidelines for bridge inspection. VDOT inspects every bridge at least once every two years and more frequently for any bridge that has known concerns with age, deterioration or damage due to accidents. Any bridge that is found to have structural safety concerns is immediately posted with reduced weight limits or immediately closed to vehicular traffic if there are any significant safety concerns.
“We are confident that the motorists of Virginia are not traveling on unsafe bridges,” Ekern said. “We are going to continue to do everything we can to be sure our existing bridges remain safe for all travelers, and we will focus even more effort to ensure that a tragedy like what we are seeing in Minnesota does not happen here in Virginia.”

Staunton Police Department recently received its seventh accreditation award - August 9
NEWS RELEASE
August 9, 2007
The Staunton Police Department recently received its seventh accreditation award from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA) at the Commission’s summer conference in Montreal. Currently, only the Staunton Police Department and Tampa, Florida Police Department have received seven accreditation awards.
The police department was recognized for meritorious accreditation for maintaining continuous accreditation for more than 15 years and was named as a CALEA flagship agency. Flagship departments are chosen based on their past performance as accredited law enforcement agencies and serve to provide examples to other agencies.
Accreditation for police agencies is voluntary and the Staunton Police Department has been accredited since 1985; becoming only the sixth department in the country with that distinction. In order to achieve accredited status, the police department must comply with more than 400 standards that encompass all aspects of law enforcement and administration.
The police department completed its on-site assessment in April and was recommended for reaccreditation by the Commission during their awards banquet in Montreal. The accreditation process is continuous and the police department must submit annual reports to CALEA attesting to continued compliance with the standards and will be due for their next on-site assessment in April of 2010.
