We're thrilled to announce our partnership with The Bull City Woodshop through our Durham Bulls Baseball sponsorship! For every Durham Bulls double this season, we will donate to The Bull City Woodshop. This non-profit, youth-centered organization guides individual development, fosters community connection and cultivates creativity through woodworking. Last week, our team helped spruce up the outside of their facility, and this week, we're talking to the students about the importance of structural designs of wood pallets. We proudly support The Bull City Woodshop's mission of providing a safe and empowering space for all people to create and build the foundations of tomorrow. Stay tuned for more updates!

FYI: Over the next week you may notice an earthy taste/odor to the drinking water. Conditions are ideal for lakes in our area to have an algal bloom. This happens annually; Durham drinking water remains safe to drink, and our treatment teams are working on mitigation measures.

Officer E. Gonzalez responded to a motor vehicle accident near Renaissance Parkway. Officer Gonzalez discovered a single vehicle had left the parking lot, crashed through a fence and came to rest in a retention pond. The vehicle was sinking slowly and most of the vehicle was submerged as he approached. He quickly removed his police equipment and entered the chest-deep, cold water to search for occupants.

Ofc. Gonzalez managed to break one of the vehicle’s rear windows and located the driver still secured by a seat belt. Simultaneously, City of Durham Fire Department personnel arrived on scene to assist in rescue efforts. Ofc. Gonzalez and a firefighter were able to remove the driver through the window after breaking it. The driver was transported to the hospital where they later succumbed to their injuries. Ofc. Gonzalez and a firefighter were treated for minor injuries sustained during the extrication of the driver.

In this circumstance, Ofc. Gonzalez was not concerned about the uncomfortable water temperature, the unknown inhabitants of the murky pond, sacrificing his personal belongings, or risking injury to his person. He simply stayed focused on the paramount task at hand, saving a life, as only a true first responder would do. Ofc. Gonzalez’s quick actions gave the driver a fighting chance at survival and allowed the driver to be transported to the hospital. While this call did not end as planned, other first responders knew Ofc. Gonzalez gave his best in this moment.

Officer Gonzalez’s selfless act of heroism should be recognized and has justly earned him District Three Officer of the Month for March 2024.
