I bet this guy would rather ride around with her family than with us. Let’s get her back home before she asks for a gun and badge.

The Adel Police Department, in partnership with Blue Kindness, was honored today to donate $1,000 worth of items to Adel’s Good Samaritan Food Pantry. Executive Director, Brandie Wilson and Vice President, Trish Radke received the goods, which were even more needed than usual due to delayed goverment SNAP funding. It was uplifting to see these two organizations work together to serve our community! Trish and Brandie work very hard to help those they support. The APD is likewise engaged in their mission to Serve & Protect. Chief Wade Book and these officers delivered the items purchased at Adel’s Fareway with funding through Blue Kindness. We encourage all citizens to please donate appropriate items to the pantry to the extent they can.
Thank you!!

Back to school! Thank you Blue Kindness for supporting our Student Citizens of the Month.

Congratulations to Isaiah Pierce on being selected as the August APD Student Citizen of the Month!

His teachers write: Isaiah has opened doors for others in a wheelchair without asking. He says hello to everyone he meets whether he knows them or not. He tries very hard to be kind. He sees others as themselves and accepts them for who they are.

Isaiah was presented an APD Student Citizen Challenge Coin and a coupon for a Dominos Pizza by School Resource Officer Monte Keller! Great work Isaiah!
