As law-enforcement professionals, we can only perform our duties as effectively as possible when we have strong, trusted partners within our community. East View United Church of Christ has been an outstanding example of such a partner.
We sincerely appreciate your continued support of our city and our department, as well as your commitment to strengthening the community we all serve. Partnerships like this are essential to building trust, fostering collaboration, and creating a safer community for everyone.

We look forward to continuing our partnership for many years to come as we work together to make our community an even safer and stronger place to live, work, and worship.
