Today is WA State 'Secure Your Load' day to highlight the importance of making sure anything you're hauling is properly secured while on the road. Let's do our part to help the rest of the State reach our goal of zero traffic related fatalities by 2030. @kctargetzero

Newcastle PD would like to thank all of our current and former military members for their service, sacrifices, courage and dedication to our Country today and every day. Thank you. #MemorialDay #HonorThem @DeptofDefense

This week NPD will have extra patrols to look for distracted drivers. When you're driving make sure you're focused on the road, not your phone or other distractions inside or outside of your vehicle. @kctargetzero

Join us for Coffee with the Chief this Wednesday, 3/22, from 8-10 am at the Starbucks at 13120 Newcastle Commons Drive. @PdNewcastle Chief Kajihiro is looking forward to talking with you.

Last night Chief Kajihiro and MPO Treadway joined Principal Wood and Dean Porter, w/ the rest of the Newcastle Elem staff and parents, for their PTSA Auction. 1 item up for bid was a ride to school with the Chief which raised $1,100 for the school. #issaquahschools

Can you help us identify these porch pirates. They like long walks in your front yard, opening your stolen packages by candlelight and riding off into the sunset in a silver car (possible Hyundia Sonata). Let us know if these 2 look familiar. Thanks.

@andrecs @andrecs There was an unoccupied stolen vehicle located in the area. The K9 deputy was only at the school to see if their security cameras caught anything worthwhile. There was no danger to the students or staff at the school.

@PdNewcastle Hey guys, I'm a Hazelwood Elementary parent, at work now and not in the neighborhood but getting reports from my neighbors there is extensive police activity on 116th including a K9 unit at the school. Can you tell me if all ok?

@eastsidefashion NPD dispatched to a car prowl where suspect ran from stolen vehicle located in the area. Guardian 1 (KCSO helicopter) and other officers assisted. Investigation is ongoing so we cannot provide any further information at this time, but there is no immediate danger to the public.

@PdNewcastle Anyone know what happened last night? Lots of helicopters!

Unfortunately acts of random violence are becoming more and more common in the world today. NPD is happy to provide this training to our community to help prepare you should you find yourself in one of these situations.

"Gong hei fat choy". (Cantonese for Happy New Year) One thing I learned at the Lunar New Year celebration at Aegis Gardens. Cool celebration that NPD was happy to be at. 1/22 enjoy the year of the Rabbit! NPD supports the AAPI community that makes up 1/3 of Newcastle's population

@andrecs Our officers were busy with other details.

@PdNewcastle I think it's fantastic that you guys can help out with trees on people's houses. But - you know what WOULD be awesome and something that PD normally do - help direct traffic on CCPway due to the traffic light malfunction? Traffic is backed up to Factoria?

NPD is dealing with multiple calls regarding trees down over roads, on lines, and even on a house! Thankfully nobody hurt here. Reminder, if you come across a tree down touching ANY wires, please DO NOT TOUCH THEM OR THE TREE. Call 911 immediately and stay put.
