Seriously, who doesn’t love getting notes like this?

Chief Gregory

A while back the department received a couple of notes from 4 year old Jamie and 2 year old Ellie. Jamie wrote, “Dear Police Officers, I like you!  I made these cooked for you.  Thank you for all you do for our community.” Ellie wrote, “Police, I love you.  Thank you!” Jamie & Ellie and your mom.  Thank you!  I can attest the cookies were delicious and didn’t last long!  We truly enjoyed your notes and still have them hanging on our bulletin board.  I look at them everyday and smile.
