An October City announcement draws attention to an everyday household practice with benefits for food budgets, kitchen safety and the environment.

An October announcement highlights how investigative technology and cooperation among law enforcement agencies can help solve crimes affecting Grand Terrace neighborhoods. For residents of Grand Terrace, home is more than an address. It is where families gather, children grow up and neighbors build relationships over many years.

A crime inside someone's home can undermine the sense of security that makes a neighborhood feel safe.
