Good afternoon Smyrna
This morning members of the Smyrna Police department along with Mayor Derek Norton and City Council member Travis Lindley met at Rose Garden park to hand out gift cards for groceries to our communities seniors and members of the community impacted by COVID19.
Due to the recent spike in COVID19 we thought it would be better to deliver the gift cards to people at their home.
Smyrna Police along with community activists from the Smyrna community went door to door delivering the gift cards and face mask.
If you or a loved one has been impacted by COVID19, visit the City of Smyrnaβs webpage and go to SupportSmyrna to get additional details about ways to donate to the program or how to get a grocery assistance gift card.
Tune into WSB-TV tonight with news reporter Chris Jose to see Mayor Norton, Sgt. Defense, Ofcr. Elliott, and Smyrna community members as they discuss SupoortSmyrna and police community relations.

Giving up oneβs license is never an easy thing to do since driving helps us maintain independence and avoid isolation. The AARP offers a free online seminar (aarp.org/auto/driver-safety/we-need-to-talk) to help you assess your loved oneβs driving skills and provide tools to help you have this important conversation.
If your loved one does not agree that it is unsafe for him or her to continue to drive, you can request that the Department of Driver Services (DDS) review the situation. Upon submission of Form DDS-270, the Department of Driver Services (DDS) will review a driverβs ability to drive safely.

This week we are going to discuss signs of elder abuse. We will be sharing information on what you can do if you are a victim of abuse or suspect that some one is being abused. Elderly abuse is not a subject we want to think about, butβ¦. The sad reality is that elder abuse is one of the most undetected and unreported problems in the U.S.
