Helping Children — Letter from the Office of the Chief of Police
Roanoke Virginia - VA.



   
OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF POLICE
       
       
       

 

       
 
       

Dear Executive Director,

       

Yesterday , the large box of teddy bears which you shipped arrived at the Roanoke Police Department. I wanted to thank you for the bears and assure you that we will work to find them all good homes.

       

Our department has participated with the local Civitan Club for a number of years in providing bears to traumatized children. The bears are placed into plastic bags to keep them dust-free in the trunk of our patrol cars. Over the years we have collected many stories of children comforted by having something of their own to hold on to at a difficult time. There is also an added benefit for our officers who sometimes feel helpless in these situations. Although they may not see the child again, seeing the child clutch a teddy bear as they enter the ambulance or emergency room helps the officers to know that they have done something good for one person.

       

Thanks to you for your efforts to help children.

       
 
Sincerely,
   
       
 
   
 
A.L. "Joe" Gaskins
Chief of Police
   
       
       

 


POLICE DEPARTMENT, 309 THIRD STREET, S.W., ROANOKE, VIRGINIA 24011
