There's a new chief in town
EPHRATA — “Ladies and gentlemen, today isn’t about solving complicated and elaborate criminal cases or educating the motoring public on the real meaning of those ‘speed limit’ signs. It isn’t about entering burning buildings or putting out fast-moving wildland fires. It is not about putting our lives at risk by simply doing our jobs when serving our communities,” Grant County Undersheriff Dave Ponozzo said during Thursday’s Chief for a Day event.
