Brookhaven Police Department Baseball Card For Community Relations

Brookhaven Police Chief Gary Yandura, member of Brookhaven Rotary, asked the Club for support of their community relations in sponsoring "baseball cards" (cards showing the officers name and information, similar to actual baseball card) for his team to pass out to youth in Brookhaven. Chief Yandura stated the project goes a long way in starting early to build positive relationship with youth and the kids love to collect cards from the officers and K-9 units they meet. Last year, BRC was able to collect funds to sponsor 15 officers and the project was considered a success. We repeated the project this year and collected funds to provide cards to a total of 1000 cards per officer to a total of 17 officers, including 5 new officers.
