New Tool For Seaside Police 12.06.2020 0515 1 JS

Seaside Police will soon have an additional tool when needing to use force on an escaping suspect.

The tool is called a Bolawrap, and Seaside City Council approved purchasing them during a Thursday meeting.

Bolawraps are made with synthetic fiber and will wrap around a suspect’s legs to prevent them from escaping as an alternative to tasers or other options that are considered non-lethal.

P.S.P.S. - Impacts Fewer 12-07-20 00:42 S.S.

Changing weather conditions mean that fewer people are likely to be impacted by this morning's Public Safety Power Shutoff. Monterey and Sierra counties have been dropped from the list, while 3 more counties (Butte, Kern, and Plumas) have been added into the list. Those changes mean that about 100 less customers are expected to be impacted. High winds are to peak in strength during the day today (Monday), and possibly linger in some regions through early tomorrow.
