Working jointly with the Crime Prevention Officer and Park Rangers they are making contact with homeless in the city and assisting them with getting vital documents, housing vouchers, medical assistance, shelter, etc. They continue to case manage many of the chronically homeless in the area by seeking Menifee Public Safety Report - Park Rangers Expedited Homeless Services As we have come to expect SWAG and our homeless outreach partners continue to make strides in navigating the complex network of homeless services to help those who are willing to take the step towards recovery. This month we had a great example of how SWAG's wrap around approach keeps people from falling through the cracks. The outreach team identified a new client named Daniel while checking on local shopping centers and businesses. They immediately went to work to help him through the complexity of entering detox and transitioning to a short term recovery program. For those attempting this on their own the process can be daunting and is full of potential downfalls. With SWAG's help he was able to complete detox and move directly into a transitional supportive housing unit, all within three weeks. Our team is very hopeful of Daniels continued success. Menifee Public Safety Report - Park Rangers Park Ranger Campfire Program The Park Rangers have been hosting campfire talks and sharing s'mores at Spirit Park. The Ranger Campfire Program was created as a way for Park Rangers to share some outdoor interpretive programing while interacting with the community at our local parks. Two campfire talks were given in August covering the topics of attracting wild bird and a special visit from LLL Reptile. Children participating in the interpretive talks made bird feeders and got to see a variety of reptiles. The community turn out was great for this summer series and it has been well reviewed. This event has had such great success that it will continue into the Fall and Winter with future dates to be announced. Menifee Public Safety Report - Park Rangers BMX Ride The City of Menifee opened up the AMR Skatepark for a free day of BMX riding to show our support for the BMX riders and to help promote our bike only sessions. The Park Rangers are looking for ways to work with riders and businesses in the industry to highlight our premier facility and to promote safety and alternative sports to youth. Gail Webb lent a hand to promote this event and provide some swag to give to participants. We hope to keep working to have fun events that will help make us the best park in the area.
