We received a report that five "We Support Our Madison Police" signs were stolen from the yards of neighbors on the 500 block of Hilltop Drive. This *has* been reported to the Madison PD. If your sign has been stolen, please do not hesitate to contact the police. This is theft, and will not be tolerated. If you're uncomfortable with calling the police, please private message me and I will relay your message to them. On a lighter note, a huge thank you to those who've already donated for the west district appreciation event. So far, we have a little over $200 in donations (Go Fund Me plus cash), which will be applied towards food & beverage. I'm approaching restaurants, caterers, and grocers this week. If you know of any businesses who'd love to participate, please let me know. I'm sure you probably get a lot of donation requests, but if you can spare even $5, it will be hugely appreciated. Chief Koval and the west district command staff are well aware of this event. : ) You can securely send your donation via Go Fund Me: https://www.gofundme.com/MPD-West-Event Also, please "like" the event page at https://www.facebook.com/Madison-Police-Department-West-District-Appreciation-Event-1801217800112227/ If you live on the north side, please stop by on 8/31 for a police appreciation event, being held at that district.
