Our speaker this week will be Bruce Dangerfield, animal control officer for Indian River County.  Here is how the Vero Beach Magazine describes Bruce: 

 

Bruce Dangerfield is a Vero Beach cop, but a cop with a difference. Though he wears a blue uniform, he does not carry a gun and does not possess powers of arrest. Instead of the cruisers used by other officers, he drives a white Ford Ranger, and his weapon of choice is a four-foot-long catchpole with a noose on the end.

Dangerfield is the VBPD’s animal control officer, a job that keeps him as busy as any cop on the beat. In his four years with the department, he has faced down alligators, Bufo toads, feral cats, gators and – his specialty – a variety of venomous snakes. Yet some of the most dangerous creatures he has to contend with are human beings.

 

A reminder that the Exchange Club of the Treasure Coast’s annual Night of Lights is this Friday, Dec. 7, at Tara Plantation.  Tickets can be purchased through a club member or through their website http://www.tcexchangeclub.org/store/.

 

See you on Wednesday!

 

Merry Christmas &

Happy New Year!
