🚔💙 COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS ON THE MOVE! 💙🚔

This past Wednesday, Officer Kelting and Officer McCormick took the Town of Tonawanda Police UTV out into the community and they had a blast! 😎

From meeting our neighbors to stopping to chat, take pictures, and even letting some of our youngest community members get behind the wheel, it was a perfect reminder that community policing is all about making connections. 🫶👮‍♂️👮‍♀️

The smiles say it all! 😊 These moments give our officers the opportunity to get to know the people we serve outside of an emergency and show our kids that police officers are here to help, listen, laugh, and have a little fun, too! 💙

Officer Kelting and Officer McCormick were loving every minute of it and are already looking forward to getting back out there!

🚔 Your police department. Your community. Your neighbors.
💙 We’re proud to be part of it! 💙

🎒📸 Happy Back to School!

First-day photos are a great tradition — just remember to post the smile, not all the details!

Avoid sharing things like your child’s full name, exact school, teacher’s name, bus stop, home address, or daily routine. A quick check of the photo background for house numbers, street signs, or other identifying information is a good idea too.

As our sign says… don’t DIVULGE ALL INFO! 😄

Wishing all of our students, families, teachers, and school staff a safe, happy, and successful school year from all of us at the Town of Tonawanda Police Department! 🚓📚

🛡️ Crime Prevention & Safety Tips:
See Something, Say Something: Even if you are unsure, please report any suspicious activity immediately. We would much rather respond to a call that turns out to be nothing than have no one call when it is something.
Don't Be an Easy Victim: Secure your property to deter opportunists. Always lock all doors and windows on both your home and vehicles, and never leave valuables in plain view.

🐕 Pet Safety & Stray Dog Information
Prevent Escapes: Check your yard gates, fences, and exterior doors regularly to ensure they are securely closed so your dog cannot get out.
ID & Microchips: Always make sure your dog wears a proper identifying tag and that their microchip contact details are up to date for a quick reunion.
Stray Dog Protocol: All stray dogs collected in our community are transported to the Paws Inn the Falls Animal Complex. After a 5-day hold period, unclaimed dogs become available for adoption.
