Building Bridges to the Future

Thank You from the Pella Police Department

Thank you to the Marion County Community Foundation! This week we deployed our active shooter kits to the officers. These kits will allow us to quickly and safely respond to very dangerous incidents of active threats against the community. We hope we never have to use them but know we are trained and ready should something like this ever happen in Pella or the surrounding communities. Thank you, Lt. Haupert for modeling the new gear!
