New program teaches citizens to become more cautious
Citizens Awareness Training Session (CATS) is a one-time, three-hour class that is designed and intended to help citizens become more cautious and aware of their surroundings while out and about in the community.
Why you should take the class:
- To learn the proper precautions to take not to become a victim.
- To become familiar with the different options to protect your residence, vehicle and to keep yourself safe.
- To become familiar with information that is needed when identifying a person who has committed a criminal offense or who appears to be a suspicious person.
Classes will be held the third Tuesday of every month and anyone who is over 18-years-old can sign up for the class by contacting community resource officer T. Bauereisen, tiffanyb@burlesontx.com or (817) 426-9983. Next scheduled class is Feb. 21 from 6 - 9 p.m., sign up for it today.

Pet of the Week - Meet Achilles
|
|
Meet Achilles, a two-year-old male pit bull terrier mix. He is truly the most gentle and calm dog. He loves to go on walks and prefers to just hang with you and be petted. We have never seen him be aggressive to other dogs, in fact, he is quite scared of a chihuahua at the shelter! He also never goes to the bathroom in his kennel, so he appears to be potty trained. He is a great boy and would be a good addition to your family.
