Page 3 CITIZENS SHOW SUPPORT Through out the county, over the last several months, tragic events involving law enforcement officers have transpired, causing circumstances which put law enforcement officers in deadly situations. The outcomes are often disastrous, which can foster public distrust of police, and general disrespect of the profession. It is easy for officers to become discouraged and disheartened while performing their daily duties. However, we are happy to report that the citizens and business in Bartow have rallied in support of our agency, and we are very appreciative of the outpouring show of support we have received from so many. Here are just a few of the acts of kindness that have been bestowed upon us this month this month. On July 17th, this beautiful Edible Arrangement was delivered, a gift from the Collins Family and Out Now Bail Bonds On July 24th, Sean and Lori Serdynski of SLS Entertainment delivered pizzas and assorted drinks for officers and dispatchers on evening shift. The Flower Cart sent this beautiful bouquet of roses! Retired LPD Police Ofc. Rosaland Lewis (center) delivered cans of coke, through a program she call s Cokes for Cops. Joe Tedder, and the Tax Collector employees made police Survival Kits and gave to all police personnel The Police Survival Kits (right) were bags, made by the Tax Collector employees, and filled with various types of candy.
