Dixon Police Chief Ryan Bivins released a statement to the citizens of Dixon. In the statement, the Chief stated, to the people of Dixon, I would like to start by stating what an honor and privilege it is to serve our community and department as the new police chief.
Our mission is simple and clear; “Protect and Serve the City of Dixon.” We pledge to protect all citizens, serve beyond the badge, and partner with the community.
It’s amazing to see all the work that goes into this week’s events, Petunia Festival, Discover Dixon, Reagan 5k, the kids and family events, the parade and fireworks and much more. It brings us all together and that is what makes our community special. Therefore, we thank all those that make this week happen.
I would like to ask you for help with a few things this week.
Please be patient with us – our call volume significantly increases this week
Help us keep an eye out. If you see something that feels off, then please say something and call us
Help keep a close eye on the younger kids. Every year we have a few calls of lost kids in the carnival
If you’ve been drinking, call someone for a ride. It helps keep you and others safe on the road
Remember what we are celebrating, treat everyone with respect, and have fun
Thank you for partnering with us to make this a great Petunia Festival!
