Stop for the Police! If you're tempted to run from the police, for whatever reason, it'll probably go a lot better for you if you just stop, rather than try and get away!

🌟Our 15th annual Shop with a PV Cop event brought smiles this week! 🌟
We partnered with local schools to treat 10 deserving children to a shopping spree with our officers, followed by a pizza party and dessert at the station while volunteers wrapped gifts. A massive thank you to the local businesses, restaurants, foundations, and private donors that contributed! Your generous partnership and donations of toys, gift cards, and funds extended the holiday joy to these children and their families. We appreciate your support!
Last week, a vehicle fled from officers but was quickly stopped thanks to the use of the Grappler! The vehicle had been stolen and the subject was also arrested for a felony burglary warrant!
