Shop With A Cop - Foundation 17 & Hopewell/Prince George FOP #17
Foundation 17 donated funds to provide 5 children an opportunity to Shop With A Copy at Burlington. The children picked out needed clothes, shoes and of course some toys.
They were also thoughtful and wanted to buy a small gift for their families.
On behalf of Foundation 17, Hopewell/Prince George FOP #17 and the Prince George County Police Department, we wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

We REMEMBER...
At 0846 eighteen years ago one of the greatest tragedies that our nation would ever face began. A hijacked passenger jet, American Airlines Flight 11 out of Boston, Massachusetts, crashes into the north tower (Tower 1) of the World Trade Center, tearing a gaping hole in the building and setting it a fire. 10:28 a.m. Tower 1 collapses from the top down as if it were being peeled apart, releasing a tremendous cloud of debris and smoke. Please observe a moment of silence for all of those that lost their lives in such a horrible tragedy

UPDATE : Prince George Canine Awarded Ballistic Vest
Thanks to the nonprofit organization, Spike's K9 Fund, the Prince George County Police Department will be awarded a ballistic K9 vest for one of their newest members. The vest will be sized for Patrol K9 Valor on Friday, August 16th, 2:15 p.m., at the Prince George Police Department. This will be the 500th ballistic vest that Spikes K9 Fund will have donated since the nonprofit's inception in 2014. The Department is very thankful for the opportunity to receive a potentially life-saving piece of equipment for K9 Valor.
The “Spike’s K9 Fund” campaign was founded by James Hatch, a retired Special Warfare Operator. As a K9 handler for several deployments, James’ life was spared by the work of K9s – one of the most memorable was Spike. On James’ final deployment, the night he was critically wounded, K9 Spike’s actions spared James’ life while losing his own. From that evening on, James oriented his life around the training, care, and preservation of working dogs. In addition to working as the founder and president of the fund, he cooperates with local law enforcement, and he has adopted a former service dog in need of medical attention.
For more information, please contact Spikes K9 Fund at [email protected]. Tax-deductible donations accepted via mail to Spikes K9 Fund5760 Northampton Blvd #118 Virginia Beach, VA 23455 or via the website: https://www.spikesk9fund.org/#
Connecting through our community programs allows us the opportunity to educate and build partnerships. Over the last two weeks, participants in our Youth Public Safety Academy interacted with officers, firefighters, and many other professionals working in Public Safety to experience what they do and learn about their specializations.
We would like to thank our public safety partners at Petersburg Bureau of Police, Petersburg Fire Department, Hopewell Police Department, VCU Health Critical Care Transport Network, City Of Richmond Fire Department and Prince George County Fire and EMS. Without you, this program would not be successful.
Congratulations to the students for completing the Academy and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! Check us out next year Prince George!

GZ Flag Ceremony
Remembering the 9/11 Tragedy
An American Flag flown days after the 9/11 tragedy at Ground Zero was raised Friday morning in front of the Prince George Police Department.
The Flag flew for nine minutes and eleven seconds as Police, Sheriff, Fire and EMS personnel looked on along with BOS Vice Chairman Donald Hunter and County Administrator Percy Ashcraft. The sacrifices, freedoms and history this Flag represents were humbling for all in attendance.
The ceremony was coordinated through the efforts of Prince George resident Don Vtipil, an advocate for veterans and their families. During a recent visit to Williamsburg, Don was introduced to John Sullivan, the owner of American Eagle Flag and Flagpole, LLC. While discussing the benefit concert Don is coordinating at the Beacon Theater on November 4th, Mr. Sullivan mentioned that he was the caretaker of one of the U.S. Flags flown at Ground Zero during the recovery operations at the Twin Towers. Mr. Sullivan made a recommendation to have the Ground Zero Flag be part of the concert so he loaned it to Don for the weekend. The Ground Zero Flag is part of our history and it is shared around the country for citizens to see and touch. Don is the co-founder of the Military Assistance Program and he will be hosting the concert, A Night With The Veterans, at the Beacon Theater. It is an event you don’t want to miss.
Weather permitting, the Flag will be raised tonight at the Prince George High School Football home game vs. Thomas Dale. Pregame begins at 6:00 pm.
And a word from one of our very own Special Olympians Chris!
