As you know, each Christmas season we partner with the New Jersey State Police Benevolent Association to help police officers make children feel better during emergencies.
The police are called in for some of the most harrowing situations you can imagine, from car accidents to domestic violence and everything in between. Children often witness unspeakable tragedies and find it difficult to calm down despite the officer’s best efforts.
A few years ago, the PBA had the great idea to provide police officers with a teddy bear to officers as a way to help children cope with traumatic situations. It was a success. Thousands of bears have been distributed to almost every patrol car in Garden State and they keep coming!
If you are a police officer in another union or a state trooper, or a lifeguard, EMT, etc., and you want some bears for your vehicle, please contact the NJSPBA and schedule a time to stop by their offices in Woodbridge to pick up a bear or two! You can call (732) 636-8860 or send an email to info@njspba.com
A special thank you this #BlueFriday to all the police officers who have had to help children feel better during emergencies and to our excellent sponsors who made the program possible. Rob Dekanski of ReMax First Advantage, Trinity Rehab and All American Autogroup.
