TRAFFIC TIP TUESDAY
To keep our roads safer for everyone, all vehicles-especially trucks- must be equipped with splash guards or aprons that cover the full width of the rear tires. This helps prevent rocks, mud, and debris from hitting other vehicles.

Traffic tip Wednesday. If you can have tinted windows for your “safety”. So can I.
If traffic tip Tuesday is posted on a Wednesday does that mean it doesn’t apply?
Mike Bastinelli kept running his mudflaps and it did wonders for his career Yakima Police Department.
I thought there was a height limit on the vehicle in order to be required by law ???
Here’s another traffic tip: unless your vehicle came from the factory with seat belts, it’s legal to roll without em.
So that's cool for splash guards what about pothole guards for the roads?
Lmao real crime fighters out there looking for mud flaps lmao
You do know it's Wednesday right?
there should be studies done on cops who volunteer for the traffic unit
And how many of your officers trucks parked in the parking lot are missing theirs? Lol.
Traffic tip Wednesday if we can't use our phones will driving neither can the cops.
Is this something new is this a law that just went into effect
Are you kidding me? There are so many trucks around this town, and cars, that their tires stick out half the tread passed the fenders.
You want me to have mud flaps then buy me them till then … no π
How making it illegal to do 40 miles per hour on the freeway
Part of the reason why I stay a couple car lengths away behind these vehicles without mudflaps because those are the ones that throw rocks at your paint, damage it as well as your windshield and crack your windshield and then you spend 700+ dollars to go replace your windshield because somebody couldn’t go buy a $24 part. My 71 Chevy is lifted and stanced and I still have mudflaps
Only if they came factory for the car I presume. Can’t enforce a law if you buy a car without mud flaps
Funny because every one of my chipped windsheilds happen to been driving behind cars not pickups not semi's but cars without mudflaps.
Cops are kidding right lmao! Crime is high but damn mud flaps
Money grab!
Yeah you see them trucks tires are sticking out 6 to 10 in just past the fender I got a $150 ticket and mine wasn't even sticking out
Traffic tip... repair the streets
What a joke in Yakima
NEWS RELEASE - DOMESTIC VIOLENCE COURT ORDER VIOLATION INCIDENT
On September 15th, 2026, at approximately 7:25am, Yakima Police Officers responded to a report of a domestic violence court order violation in the 400 block of N 24th Ave. It was reported that a male suspect had entered the residence, armed with a firearm. The victims in the home were able to exit the residence, and officers were able to make initial contact with the suspect via phone, however, the call was terminated and there was no further communication from the suspect.
The Yakima Valley Crisis Response Unit arrived and took over the security of the scene and attempted negotiations. Once a search warrant was obtained, police entered the residence and found the 33-year-old male suspect with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Medical care was provided on scene, and the suspect was taken to Yakima MultiCare Memorial Hospital. He was later transported to a trauma center on west side of the state, in critical condition.
Yakima Police Department Detectives are continuing to follow up on this investigation.

This is why as a law abiding citizen, I am always ready to defend my family.
Prayers are upπππ
Prayers going up for this man and his family
Prayers to family
I live a few houses down from the incident. The Yakima Police Department and Yakima Sheriff Department did an excellent job yesterday morning dealing with the situation!!! I felt safe and the officers were courteous and assisted me in getting out of the neighborhood safely when I wanted to leave and return to my home during the morning. I think we should say thank you for the way they handled themselves and the situation!! Thank you officers!!!
Prayers for all involved π Lord have mercy and forgive our sins in Jesus name amen!
Prayers
I started up Lincoln.. Had Powerhouse/23rd SUVd off..YFD truck backing out on Castlevale..
Well done. Thank you
Praying for the family π
someone cavght the whole thing',"this one''. Police scene report
someone cavght the whole thing',"this one"., Uncensored scanner feeds
This is the actual video recording of the incident that's been getting a lot of attention. Instead of listening to rumors, it's better we see the facts for ourselves in this video. It's short, but it's important so we don't get the wrong idea.. www.facebook.com/share/p/19UKMVdw5H/
Peggy Byrd Lister look at this
The only thing restraining orders on paper is good for is to wipe your ass with. When are good U.S. citizens going to learn that the police are not outside your house to protect you and that you need to carry. Police are only there to clean up the mess afterward. Well maybe this scumbag won't make it and the family will have peace.
Love is the worst π πͺ pain in my experience.
This is sad.
Prayers sent to his family π I was so worried about him shooting himself π I'm praying he services his injuries π π’ and gets help π
This is sad π
That is so so sad. if you're in an unhealthy relationship, get the heck out of it!!!!
At least he didn’t kill his family first. Tragic either way. Healing prayers to the family.
Damn
smh rip jay
