Programs either conducted or supported by our Police Department

• D.A.R.E. This stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education. This program is delivered by Officer Reukauf for 5th grade every year.
• Police Pals . This is a program delivered by most of our officers in which the officers introduce themselves to grade schoolers and explaining our function as police.
• Bike Safety . The bike safety program is delivered by Sgt. Zabel. This is delivered in the spring prior to the end of the school year, so our children will have the safety lessons in their thoughts during the summer recess.
• Packer Card Giveaway . The Department along with local businesses purchase and give out Packer cards every year. This has proven very popular with the youth in our community.
