🌯💙 THANK YOU, TOPEKA! 💙🌯

A heartfelt thank you to both Topeka Qdoba locations and to everyone who stopped by on Thursday, May 28, to support the Law Enforcement Fallen Officers Memorial Fund fundraiser!

Because of your generosity, more than $370 was raised to help support the memorial honoring law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their communities. 🇺🇸🖤💙

Whether you dined in, carried out, ordered online, shared the event, or helped spread the word, your support made a meaningful difference. We are especially grateful to Qdoba Topeka for partnering with us and donating a portion of the evening's proceeds to this important cause. 🙌

Together, we continue to honor the legacy of fallen officers while supporting the mission of remembering their service and sacrifice.

Thank you, Topeka, for showing what community support is all about! ❤️

🩸🏆 THANK YOU, TOPEKA! 🏆🩸

A huge THANK YOU to all the blood donors, volunteers, and American Red Cross staff members who helped make the 2026 Battle of the Badges Blood Drive a tremendous success! ❤️

Because of the generosity of our amazing blood donors, 40 units of life-saving blood were collected during this year’s event — donations that will help patients and families in need throughout our community. ❤️🩸

Events like Battle of the Badges are only possible because of the incredible support from community members willing to donate blood, volunteers who give their time, and the dedicated Red Cross staff who work tirelessly behind the scenes to make the event run smoothly.

And now… congratulations to 👮🏆 THE TOPEKA POLICE DEPARTMENT 🏆👮 for earning this year’s Battle of the Badges Trophy bragging rights in the friendly competition with the 🚒 Topeka Fire Department!

Most importantly, everyone involved helped achieve the true victory of the day — helping save lives through blood donation. ❤️

Thank you again for making this special community event such a success!

Today, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Their courage, selflessness, and unwavering dedication to protecting our freedoms will never be forgotten. 🇺🇸

As we gather with family and friends this Memorial Day, we encourage our community to take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of this day and pay tribute to those who gave everything for our country.

“Their sacrifice was the ultimate act of love for their country. May we always remember them.” — Unknown

From all of us at the Topeka Police Department, we extend our deepest gratitude to our fallen heroes and their families. ❤️🤍💙

🖤💙 Today, we honor the life and legacy of Officer Andrew F. Hartwick, who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty on May 19, 1921.

Officer Hartwick served with the Topeka City Park Police Department for six years. While attempting to stop an act of cruelty toward animals in Ripley Park, Officer Hartwick courageously intervened after observing individuals using slingshots to harm birds. When he confronted the suspects and ordered them to stop, one of the individuals produced a handgun and shot him. Despite being mortally wounded, Officer Hartwick returned fire as the suspects fled the park. He later succumbed to his injuries.

During this era, Topeka City Park Police officers were fully sworn law enforcement officers.

We remember Officer Hartwick’s bravery, dedication to duty, and commitment to protecting both the community and those without a voice. We also honor his family and the sacrifice they endured. Officer Hartwick was survived by his wife and two children.
