The Bunnell Police Department will hold a Coffee with a Cop event Oct. 7.
The event will be held at 8 a.m. at the State Street Diner at 601 N. State Street in Bunnell. Bunnell Police Chief Tom Foster will speak with residents.
No specific speeches or topics are on the agenda, “just informal conversations about what matters to our Bunnell residents,” according to a Bunnell Police Department news release.
The event is designed to eliminate obstacles “such as radios, patrol cars and cell phones” so officers can have relaxed conversations with community members and build relationships and problem solve with citizens.
The Bunnell Police Department is showing its support for National Breast Cancer Awareness during the month of October by displaying pink badges on officers’ uniforms, according to a Bunnell Police Department news release.
“It is our hope to increase awareness of this dreadful disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure,” according to the news release. Officers bought their own badges, and 10% of all sales is donated to the national cancer fund, according to the news release.
A two-week program offered through the Flagler County Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller to give those who have overdue traffic tickets or court fines and fees a discount of at least 40 percent ends Friday, Sept. 30. It began Sept. 19.
“We are offering this program to help our residents who have tickets, fines and fees that were in collection before June 1 of this year,” Court Clerk and Comptroller Gail Wadsworth said in a Flagler County government news release. “This may allow some to restore their suspended driving privileges once the outstanding fines and late fees are paid.”
This special program is called “Walk In Drive Out.”
While late fees will not be waived, anyone paying tickets, fines and fees within this time period will be spared the costs of collections surcharges.
“These charges can be considerable,” Wadsworth said. “It can be as much as $82.40 on a $206 speeding ticket for going 10 to 15 mph over the speed limit.”
Those who are uncertain about whether or not they owe money to the Flagler Clerk of the Circuit Court can do a name search on the website: flaglerclerk.com.
“Walk In Drive Out” between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday in the first floor Central Receipting Office, Kim C. Hammond Justice Center, 1769 E. Moody Blvd., Building 1, Bunnell.
Payments will be accepted in cash, check, money order or major credit card. Third-party checks will not be accepted. Phone and online payments will also be accepted.
Suspended driving privileges cannot be restored to drivers who have overdue tickets in another county, an expired driver’s license or other misdemeanor offenses that would make them ineligible.
