🚨 COMMUNITY NOTICE 🚨
This weekend, Saturday and Sunday, Heritage Park will be hosting a historical military reenactment event from 10:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. each day.
As part of the reenactment, participants will be firing blank ammunition and conducting simulated battle demonstrations throughout the event. The reenactors will also be camping overnight in the park during the weekend.
Residents and visitors in the area may hear frequent gunfire-like sounds during the event. Please be advised that these sounds are expected and are part of the scheduled reenactment activities.
We are sharing this information in advance because similar events in the past generated numerous calls for service regarding shots fired.
There is no public safety concern associated with the reenactment. If you hear what sounds like gunfire coming from the Heritage Park area during the scheduled event hours, it is likely related to the authorized reenactment activities.
Thank you for helping us spread the word and avoid unnecessary emergency calls.

This Memorial Day, the men and women of the Taylor Police Department pause to honor and remember the brave service members who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and our freedoms.

Their courage, dedication, and selflessness will never be forgotten.

As we spend time with family and friends today, we encourage everyone to take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of Memorial Day and remember those who gave everything in service to our nation.

From all of us at the Taylor Police Department, thank you to our fallen heroes and to the families who continue to carry their legacy forward.

We wish everyone a safe and peaceful Memorial Day.
