The City of South Lake Tahoe has approved the implementation of a new public safety communications system.

David Stevenson started as a Patrol Officer and worked his way up to Lieutenant before being named Chief of the department.

South Lake Tahoe city officials say a snow plow driver accidentally hit a buried car earlier this week, eventually finding a woman inside. Luckily, she was not seriously hurt. 

South Lake Tahoe Police found an abandoned vehicle but are still searching for a suspect in an apparent drive-by shooting.
