Thank you, Nash!

A big thank you to Nash for stopping by the Danville Police Department today with donuts for our Officers! We truly appreciate the kindness and support from our community.

Nash arrived dressed and ready for duty in a Police Officer uniform and had the opportunity to spend some time with Sgt. Slayback and Officer McKenna. Nash was especially interested in all the equipment our Officers carry on their vests and spent time asking questions and learning what each item is used for. It was great to see such curiosity and enthusiasm for law enforcement.

Of course, we had to grab a photo with our newest junior Officer before he headed out!

Thank you again, Nash, for the delicious donuts and for making our day a little brighter. We loved your visit and hope to see you back at the department again soon!
