IBPO Local 473

11/26/2025

Today was one of those days that reminds you why community matters. The IBPO Local 473 raised $2,000 for the North Kingstown Food Pantry through its No Shave November initiative, and we had the privilege of presenting the check in person today. The funds came directly from IBPO Local 473 members, who generously donated their own money to support this important cause.

Yesterday, 7‑year‑old Josie stopped by NKPD with one goal in mind: meet a female police officer. She was thrilled to meet Officer Brigid White, who took the time to chat with her, show her around, and make her day unforgettable. 💙

Josie left the station beaming, talking nonstop about her new hero. Moments like these remind us why community connections matter so much.

Thank you, Officer White, for making such a positive impact, and thank you, Josie, for reminding us what this badge is all about. 👮‍♀️

Could this be our redemption year?

IBPO Local 473 — the proud union of the North Kingstown Police Department — is lacing up once again for the 2025 Charity Basketball Game against the NK Skippers!

We’ve taken the L the last two years… but we’re not giving up. This year, we’re bringing the heat (and maybe some extra cardio).

NK Skippers vs. NK Police Department
Friday, April 25th – Doors open at 5:30 PM
North Kingstown High School Gym

This incredible event celebrates the Reading Madness Challenge and honors Coach Lane Leedahl for being an NK Educational Foundation champion.

We may be 0-2, but we’re coming with heart, hustle, and a deep bench (hopefully). Come cheer us on for a great cause and a night of fun!
