Summary

The August 1982 Deputy’s Office column explains the island’s “Attempt To Locate” requests for urgent family messages. It recommends road signs for summer residents and check-in information for vacationers so Deputy Ham Gebert could find them quickly.

Evidence limits

This is public-service guidance, not a dispatch log or record of a particular emergency.
