Can you help?
KIRTLAND, Ohio — The Kirtland Police Department has a BOLO alert for children's books. Officers are asking residents to help them collect new books to read to the city’s elementary students as they’ve done every week, for the past year.
“We knew right away that maybe we were onto something here,” said Chief Bryan McCallister. “They [the community] see what we’re doing out there every day and they want to help us and to be a part of it and that gives me so much satisfaction as a chief.”McCallister says this program is what community policing entails. He says he is dedicated to strengthening the community’s trust, starting with their youngest civilians.
McCallister’s squad of 11 officers has been rotating week after week to read to students. As McCallister explained, “most of our guys are parents. So, there’s nothing like connecting with little children and just seeing that joy of life I think it in fuses energy back into the police department. He added the genuine approach is allowing officers to familiarize themselves with the school, students, and flow, in case of an emergency.
