The Mission Police Department announced it will increase patrols over Memorial Day weekend and urged residents to celebrate responsibly, but did not specify enforcement details or staffing levels.
The Mission Police Department said it will increase patrols over Memorial Day weekend to keep Mission residents safe and urged people to celebrate responsibly.
The announcement, made in a public message before the holiday, urged people to "buckle up, don't drink and drive, stay alert, and be aware of your surroundings," and added, "Our officers are here to serve and protect because your safety is our number 1 priority." The department also said, "Together, let's make this a safe Memorial Day weekend."
The statement framed the additional patrols as a preventive safety measure. It did not specify how many additional officers would be deployed, which enforcement actions will be prioritized, or whether any checkpoints, overtime funding, or mutual‑aid from other agencies will be used.
The department's message focused on traffic and personal‑safety reminders for people attending barbecues, traveling, or spending time with family. Details such as the specific dates covered (beyond "Memorial Day weekend") and operational plans were not specified in the announcement.
Residents seeking more information or guidance on enforcement were not directed to a specific contact or webpage in the message.
