Utopia Patrols

Members,

As you may be already aware, in times of emergencies, our Utopia patrol officers can sometimes be called back to duty.   So this is a quick update to let you know, at this time, according to our Utopia Head of Security,  Lt. Andres Valdes:  “Be assured that COVID-19 has not effected Utopia Security in any way at this time.  The MPD has implemented every precaution possible to insure officers can and will meet their regular on and off-duty schedules.”

We will certainly keep you apprised if there are any major changes to our  April patrol schedule,  but we do not see any at this time.

Stay Safe,

Utopia Board
