* A good way to know about local crime is to be on the Chamber email list so that you can get these reports.  Report Crime to the Chamber Secretary, Bev Bergstrom, or President, Vivian Plank.  Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich mentioned at a Town Hall Meeting at McIntosh Grange in Rockford June 12, 2013, and suggested that to the audience.
