King City PD Partners with CueHit

On March 5, 2022 residents of King City will be some of the first in the state to use a new community engagement and feedback solution after an interaction with the Police Department. This new service uses text messaging to contact some 911 callers and others that have recently reported or been involved in non-life-threatening incidents. These text messages are sent hours or days after the incident and will ask citizens to take a quick survey about their experience with the police department. It will also allow citizens to provide their own comments, feedback and words of gratitude after receiving public safety service. “It is important for our department to hear from the community about how we are doing, especially from those that we have recently met.”, said Chief of Police Keith Boyd “This new product, called CueHit, will give me access to citizen feedback in near real time and provide insights into areas where we can improve the service we provide to the community and help boost officer morale when positive feedback is provided.” With CueHit, text message surveys are sent to those whose number is recorded as part of a call for service or even an officer’s report. But citizens can take a text message survey and provide feedback even if they did not receive a text message. The King City PD will soon be announcing a number dedicated to this and QR codes will be made available to scan to start that conversation. Residents that do not want to participate can simply not respond or let the department know in advance by calling 831-385-4848 and your number will never receive a survey. As with all texts, residents may reply with STOP and that will opt them out of all future text surveys from the department. It is important that everyone know that these surveys should not be used to report any type of emergency or crime. As always, call 9-1-1 for any emergency or to report any criminal activity.

July 9, 2024- Out of abundance of caution for public health, County of Monterey Parks is closing the Lake San Antonio facility due to a large-scale fish die off from an unknown cause. On July 5, 2024, Parks staff noticed that dead baitfish, mostly shad, began washing up on the shore around Lake San Antonio and immediately contacted California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to report the situation. At that time, the CDFW fisheries biologist stated the fish die off was most likely due to the high temperatures and low dissolved oxygen level in the water and that the situation most likely did not present a risk to the public. Parks staff also contacted the Water Resources Agency (WRA), State Water Resources Control Board and Environmental Health Bureau. Unfortunately, the fish die off has continued with larger species such as bass, catfish, crappie, carp, and trout being impacted. Attached photos include a 3–4-pound bass.
