Sheriff’s Office mobile command post to lead parade and send out location updates.

Sheriff James Pohlmann reminds people to look to the Sheriff’s Office Facebook page April 16 for location updates and live video streaming of the St. Bernard Irish, Italian, Islenos Community Parade.

A sheriff’s deputy on board the department’s Mobile Emergency Operations Center which leads the parade will post regular location updates on the Facebook page after the parade starts at noon.

“We have been doing location updates for parades for several years now and have received many appreciative comments,’’ Sheriff Pohlmann said.

“We hope spectators, especially children, find it fun and helpful to know when the parade will approach them,’’ Sheriff Pohlmann said.

The department’s mobile command post, acquired through a federal grant, is a great vehicle and is perfect for leading a parade, the sheriff said.

The mobile center will coordinate the running of the parade as well as road closings as it moves along the route, Sheriff Pohlmann said.
