Update from the Town of Blowing Rock |
In response to Governor Cooper’s latest Executive Order, #180, the Town of Blowing Rock and the Blowing Rock Police Department have made some changes to their staffing plan. Effective this Friday, December 4, 2020, the BRPD will add two additional foot patrol shifts on each Friday, Saturday, and Sunday until further notice. These two additional shifts will work a schedule of 10am-6pm, and be focused on the Main Street, Sunset Drive, and Memorial Park areas of town. Each officer will be charged will informing businesses, residents, and visitors of the new Executive Order. Each Officer will have information available to give to each individual with the information from the Executive Order. As a reminder, Executive Order #180 states:
- A face covering will now be required in all public indoor settings if there are non-household members present, regardless of the distance away
- Face coverings continue to be required in public outdoor settings if individuals are unable to maintain six feet of social distance with non-household members
- In restaurants, guests are required to wear face coverings at their table unless they are actively eating or drinking.
These additional shifts are in addition to the normal shifts (road patrol) that will continue to take place on those days.
