📢 Business Owners — 2027 Poster Calendar

The Poplar Bluff Police Department is working with Hometown Publishing LLC to produce our 2027 Poster Calendar.

Over the coming weeks, Jerry Wilkerson, a representative of Hometown Publishing LLC, may be contacting local businesses regarding sponsorship opportunities for the calendar.

This is a legitimate project and is not a scam. Proceeds from the sale of sponsorships will benefit the Poplar Bluff Police Department. Sponsors will receive a copy of the 2027 calendar, which will be delivered in December 2026.

We appreciate our local businesses and their continued support of the Poplar Bluff Police Department! 👮‍♂️🇺🇸

PSA: We have always enforced running school bus stop arm violations but the penalties have increased. Be courteous and be safe. Most of all, help keep our children safe.

🚌 With buses back on the road transporting our most precious cargo, SAFETY is our No. 1 priority. Our local law enforcement agencies and school transportation team are working hand-in-hand to ensure everyone makes it to school and back home safely.🤝

⚠️ It’s important for all drivers to be aware of a new Missouri law taking effect today. Penalties have significantly increased for drivers who fail to stop for school buses when their stop-arms are extended and red lights are flashing.🛑

Please take the extra few seconds to stop. Let’s work together as a community to protect our students! 🏫❤️
