The department is a community oriented team. Each year the police department sponsors the annual Toys for Tots program at Christmas, an Easter Egg hunt at the park, and at Halloween a candy check, the department is involved and supports the county drug task force, juvenile services, and investigative work for misdemeanors and felonies. The department operates a pick up service for stray and vicious dogs. Providing daily patrols of the streets and roads tends to be a deterrent to crime.
The department encourages the men and women of the department to take additional training beyond the required training needed for certification each year. The department has one man specifically assigned to the school system.
The Toys for Tots and Easter Egg Hunt programs have been operated by the department for over 20 years. Each year the department accepts request from needy families and attempts to fill those needs to make it a happy Christmas for those families. Donations are accepted at any time for the program. The Department is a progressive and modern department striving everyday to provide a safe community protecting lives and property.
