Glenwood Police Department Has Another Successful ‘Cops and Bobbers’ Event
After thirteen years participating in Shop with a Cop, Plainfield PD continued their success in 2021. The department raised over $10,000 in donations and fundraising along with the community, allowing for 40 children to be able to shop with officers this year. Plainfield PD gives a heartfelt thanks to their community, especially Plainfield Police Department civilian employees for wrapping gifts, Plainfield Junior Women’s Club and Walmart for being the host of this year’s wonderful event!
Cops and Bobbers is an annual community policing and youth mentorship program held by the Glenwood Police Department to connect with students of Brookwood District 167 schools in Glenwood. Students and participating officers take a trip to a local pond where they fish together and have a barbeque lunch. Glenwood PD continues this tradition to maintain a strong relationship and connection to the young community while facilitating a positive interaction between the police department and local youths.
