City Manager’s Update

The Virginia Beach Sheriff’s Office held its 38th

Basic

Academy graduation ceremony on Thursday, Aug. 11,

recognizing nine deputies who successfully completed 16

weeks of training and met the Department of Criminal Justice

Services’ requirements for graduation. I had the honor of

speaking to the graduates, thanking them for answering “the

call” to

help keep

the City safe by joining one of the noblest

and most demanding professions there is.

Law enforcement in Virginia Beach is

highly respected and critically important to

the exceptional quality of life we have

established. The citizens and leadership of

this City have complete confidence in these

nine men and women, their training and the

leadership of the VBSO. The deputies will

be assigned to the Virginia Beach

Correctional Center and bring the number of

active, sworn Virginia Beach Sheriff’s

Office deputies to 422.

A free training course for families and friends of Virginia Beach

residents at risk for an opioid overdose, or individuals interested in

becoming lay rescuers, is scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 16, from 5:30

to 7 p.m. at the Virginia Beach Department of Emergency Medical

Services. Sponsored by the Virginia Beach Human Services Department, “REVIVE!” trains

individuals to recognize and respond to an opioid overdose emergency with the administration of

Naloxone, a prescription medication. This will be the fourth REVIVE! training course conducted

by the department. Space is limited to 20 individuals and registration is mandatory. Contact:

(757) 385-0800 to register.

Virginia Beach has earned the prestigious 2016 TripAdvisor® Certificate

of Excellence. The award celebrates hospitality businesses that have

earned great traveler reviews on TripAdvisor over the past year. Virginia

Beach averaged a 4.5 rating out of five for the reporting period.

The Certificate of Excellence accounts for the quality, quantity and

recency of reviews submitted by travelers on TripAdvisor over a 12-month

bubble rating of at least four out of five, have a minimum number of reviews and must have been

listed on TripAdvisor for at least 12 months. Certificate of Excellence recipients include

continually delivered a quality customer experience.

Through the Virginia Department of Emergency Management, members of the Virginia Beach

Fire Department responded to a request to assist Howard County Government (Maryland) with

managing the areas affected by severe flooding from recent storms. For seven days, District

Chief James Ramsey, Battalion Chiefs Bill Skelaney and Steve Lesinski, who are also

members of the Hampton Roads Incident Management Team, assisted with managing search

and rescue operations, assessing damage for cost recovery, and coordinating safety measures

within the historic district of Ellicott City so volunteers, shop owners, occupants and contractors

could begin restoration efforts.

This past week, the Sandler Center for Performing Arts hosted The Ability Center of

Virginia’s Summer Camp for the second year in a row. This year, 26 campers participated,

culminating in a performance the campers had been rehearsing throughout the week. The Ability

Center of Virginia serves children and adults with disabilities in our community. This art camp in

particular is geared toward teens and young adults.

Utility work on Bells Road is complete ahead of schedule. Bells Road will not

be closed to traffic this weekend. Traffic lanes will be open as usual.

The right eastbound lane of Princess Anne Road, near the intersection

of South Parliament Drive, will close due to utility work. Weather permitting, work will

Dear Mayor Sessoms and Council,

P.O. BOX 6098 VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA 23456-9073

FAX (757) 427-5037

The Virginia Beach Sheriff's Office and I had the pleasure of having City Manager Dave Hansen

as the commencement speaker for our 38th Basic Academy graduation yesterday, Thursday,

Aug. 11, 2016. Mr. Hansen delivered an inspiring and heartfelt message that was, in short, one

of the best we've had in recent times. Not only did he assure my deputies and me that we have

the full support of our City Manager, he also reinforced the value he places in our work to every

deputy, civilian, friend and family member in the audience. That kind of reinforcement is

invaluable, especially at a time when law enforcement now more than ever needs to know that

we have our leaders' support.

Since his first day in office, Mr. Hansen has been a friend to the Sheriff's Office. I cannot

imagine anyone better to fill the job of Virginia Beach City Manager and to continue to do what

is necessary to ensure we remain the safest city of our size.

I for one am glad to have a friend in that office and I hope he will continue to receive your

support.

Sincerely,

Ken Stolle
