On October 10 and 11, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department’s Work Release Program (WRP) conducted a community cleanup along Summit Valley Road in Hesperia.
Participants removed two 40-yard dumpsters worth of trash and 30 abandoned vehicle tires, helping improve the community while fulfilling court-ordered service.
The Work Release Program provides an alternative to incarceration, allowing participants to give back to their communities while maintaining employment, continuing their education, and supporting their families.
This successful cleanup highlights the department’s continued commitment to community partnerships and service.

Here's some tips on how to stay safe during high winds:
• It’s best to stay indoors during high winds.
• If you must drive, keep a safe distance away from other vehicles. Strong wind gusts may blow vehicles off-course. Also, stay clear of box trucks, RVs and other large trucks since they are susceptible to high winds.
• Stay clear of downed power lines. Avoid anything that may be touching a downed power line including tree branches and vehicles. Also, call 911 and your local energy company to report downed power lines.
• Avoid parking near large trees that could fall on your car.
