Project Name: Citizens Police Academy Project Status/Details: • In an effort to encourage a greater knowledge of its many functions and ser- vices, the Marana Police Department is bringing back its Citizens Police Academy this fall. • The interactive program is open to anyone who is at least 18 years old (or en- rolled as a junior or senior at Marana High School), passes a background investi- gation, inctuding a criminal history check, and lives or works in Marana. • The 10-week program starts Sept. 12 and sessions are held Wednesdays from 6 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Registrations may be made by visiting www.marana.com. The deadline is Aug. 22. • Participants will have opportunities to learn more about the police department's crime scene, K-9 and patrol units and an introduction of command staff, among many other functions. The department held its most recent Citizens Police Acade- my in March 2010. Community Hea/th and We//ness ��,��.��.�� Project Name: Social Media Proiect Status/Details: • Social media has made governments more accessible to residents and stakehold- ers. New media technologies complement traditional means of outreach, includ- ing websites, newsletters and community meetings. • The Town established its Facebook and Twitter accounts in 2009; Parks and Rec- reation followed last year. Marana's social media sites inform the public about Town business, services and events. • The Town has almost 1,300 followers on Twitter and more than 400 Facebook fans. While most people who follow our social me- dia sites are local, we have followers from across the country. Much of that is attributable to the Accenture Match Play Champi- onship, the event that inspired the Town to get involved in social media. • Social media outlets give the Town opportunities to directly inter- act with residents, business owners, visitors and other interested parties. They also give us the chance to get information to follow- ers in an almost real-time manner. If a road is closed because of an accident, for example, we can often let people know right away by using social media. • Our Twitter account also serves as the news feed for the My Ma- rana application, enabling us to reach an expanded audience. • Marana was one of the first communities in Southern Arizona to embrace social media. Many have followed since — Oro Valley and Tucson, included — because they see the value in the medium. The services are free; the only cost involved is in the time spent researching and posting updates.

This includes updating the disaster recovery plan and emergency operations plan, developing emergency response strategies and conduct- ing regular emergency response drills and exercises. While we hope that the Town of Marana is never challenged by an emergency, it is important that the Town be pre- pared and capable if emergency incidents occur. The Town of Marana, in accordance with Homeland Security Presidential Directive 5, and the Homeland Security Act of 2002 and Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS), Title 26, Chapter 2, Article 1, is required to prepare for and respond to emergencies/disasters in order to save lives and protect public health and property. The Town is complying with its legal obligations and is implementing the strategic plan by: • Updating the emergency operation plan • Ensuring all Town staff have the appropriate training completed in emergency re- sponse procedures as directed by the National Incident Management System • Increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of incident management and coordina- tion among Town entities, regional organizations, private sector entities, and state and federal partners • Training and planning drills together to better respond to an actual emergency • Educating employees on personal preparedness and other topics during National Emergency Preparedness Month in September � Manager's Corner Pro�ect name: Utilities Manager Project Status/Details: • The Town has hired long-time Tucson Water employee and Marana resident John Kmiec as its utilities director.

Here are tips to help prepare in the event of an emergency� • At least once a}�ear, have a meeting with your family to discuss and update your disaster pian Determine what additional training, equipment and supplies are needed.
