All, Also, I live in Falls River (near Ravens Ridge Road) and below is our neighborhood contact for RPD. I don't know if he handles this part of Ravens Ridge Road but the residents of Falls River were given his name as a point of contact for incidents such as this. Maybe he can help guide us in the proper options.
