Thanks to all the volunteers who came out for our Halloween Task Force.  For two days yellow flashing lights could be seen across Flint. Let's keep it going with the Blue Badge Citizens Radio Patrol, together we can do it. Please contact Lieutenant Mark Boudreau or Officer Tanya Meeks at 810-237-6800.

Flint Neighborhoods United has started a GoFundMe page to raise funds to purchase a ballistic vest for our K-9 Edo. Any money left over will be used by the department to purchase food and pay for veterinarian bills. The Flint Police Department is overwhelmed by both the rapid pace at which this project has gained support from the community and the sheer amount of people who have pledged that support. To all of our dedicated community members out there, we say Thank You. This kind of outpouring is an encouraging reminder of how involved and compassionate people in our area can be.
