"The Night Before Christmas in Pasco (Some crime highlights in Christmas Poem form)
‘Twas the week before Christmas, and all through the city, The calls kept on coming, some serious, some witty. From mental health struggles to saving with care, Narcan revived lives—it’s why we are there.
A car sped past an officer, fast as could be, The driver was swerving, not sober, you see. A cranberry cocktail had done its foul deed, And the driver was stopped for their dangerous speed.
Two prowlers were spotted at an RV site, Caught sneaking through shadows in the dead of the night. They stepped out with hands raised, no further disgrace, For they knew to comply was the safest embrace.
A thief in a coat so reflective and bright, Made it easy to catch him that cold winter night. With wallets aplenty and cards in his grip, We’d love to return them—so give us a tip!
On Chapel Hill Boulevard, a curious scene, Two vials of THC caused chaos obscene. One man dented a car and screamed at the skies, But officers calmed him with steady replies.
A slow-moving car, its front end amiss, Was stopped by our team—something was amiss. The driver was swaying, his words quite a blur, A reminder that drinking and driving won’t deter.
A gun was reported, waved high in the air, But alas, ‘twas a tool, though it gave quite a scare. The man wisely complied and set the tool down, Turning what could have been grave to a safe little town.
From thefts to collisions, from prowls to disputes, The week was eventful, with many pursuits.
But through it all, a message rings clear, Stay safe, stay kind, and spread Christmas cheer. So remember this season, as we patrol day and night, Compliance and kindness will keep things all right.
Merry Christmas to all in Pasco’s embrace, And thank you for helping keep our town a safe place!"
