In light of suspicious activities and concerns in our neighborhoods, the Westmoreland County (VA) Sheriff’s Office asked the Placid Bay Civic Association to post the following INFORMATION ON REPORTING AN ANONYMOUS TIP.

To report an anonymous tip using Tip411 in Westmoreland County, VA, you can use the Tip411 system. Text the keyword “WCSOTIP” followed by your tip to 847411. Add Your Tip: Provide the information about suspicious activity or concern.  However, if there is an emergency, call 911.  

Web Form: Visit the Westmoreland County Sheriff’s Office website (www.westcoso.us). Locate the anonymous tip form, fill out the form and submit it.

Tips for effective tip submitting:

1.) Provide as much detail as possible, including the location, date, time, and nature of the incident.

2.) Be honest: Report the information truthfully.

3.) Be anonymous: If you prefer to remain anonymous, use the Tip411 system and do not include personal information.

Hopefully those interested have received an email informing that the Stop the Bleed and CPR training scheduled for 6:30 pm Tuesday, December 30 has been canceled. The Oak Grove Volunteer Fire Department expresses their apologies for any inconvenience this causes. They were not able to get the instructors required to conduct the training. They hope to reschedule in January.

The Placid Bay Civic Association (PBCA) wishes to thank everyone for their donations to our food drive. The food drive continues as an ongoing service during this period of time when many of our neighbors are worried about their food security. We are collecting items and delivering them to a local food pantry. The bins for donations are located at the Placid Bay Event Venue (67 Mattox Avenue) at the outside side entrance. Please do NOT leave any items which require refrigeration or freezing, or since the bins are outside, items which may freeze. Attached is a list of items which several food pantries have indicated are in need, as well as a list of local food pantries. Thank you for your contribution to this much-needed service!
