Dear Editor,
It’s that time of year again where the New Glarus Police Department puts out our general request to the public and businesses to seek monetary donations for the New Glarus Police Department’s Community Relations Fund. The police department is continually striving to keep proactive with the community and the youth of New Glarus. Without monetary donations from the public, it would be difficult to be as successful and involved in community events as we have been in the past. Below describes some of the ways we spend the donation money to help with interacting with the community.
The New Glarus Police Department has established a fund called the New Glarus Police Department Community Relations Fund. This fund assists the New Glarus Police Department with year-round community events for the youth of New Glarus. These programs include our annual Bike Rodeo, the D.A.R.E. program, our community-wide Halloween Safety initiative, our Child Identification Program, and helps out with the Shop With a Cop program, etc. All of the donations that are received in regards to this fund stay in the New Glarus community, benefitting the youth of the village. Donations can be sent to the New Glarus Police Department, made out to the “New Glarus Police Department Community Relations Fund.”
For the past several years, the Green County Law Enforcement Administrators’ Association (GCLEAA) has sponsored the Shop With a Cop program. This program is county-wide and includes some areas even outside of Green County. The New Glarus Police Department is an active participant and sponsor of this program. This is a program that helps underprivileged kids have a Merry Christmas that they might not have had without our help. If you would like to contribute to this program, checks need to made out to “Shop With a Cop.” Shop With a Cop will be held this year on December 9th, at Wal-Mart.
If you have any questions, or would like to know more about the New Glarus Police Department Community Relations Fund or Shop With a Cop, feel free to contact me at the New Glarus Police Department at (608) 527-2145.
Thank you to all that have contributed in the past, and for those of you that contribute this year.
Lieutenant Jeffrey Sturdevant, New Glarus Police Department
