The Bears on Patrol program is about to make one small step for a bear, and one giant leap for the program with the anticipated departure of Joey Bear to the Bremen Police Department in Bremen, Georgia. Joey will be going out tomorrow to my former employer, Stitch America until they contact a friend of theirs at the police department to see if they are interested in working with the bears.
I’m looking for anyone to help support this new cause I’ve started, either financially or by spreading the word.
Bears on Patrol (BOPS) provides police officers and departments with teddy bears free of charge to help distract and comfort small children in police calls where they are involved.
I have sent an email to someone at the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office to see if they are interested, so this is just being tested locally at the moment, if they want to give it a try. I’m hoping to launch this on a wider scale, maybe nationally.
You can see my web pages for this at http://www.blakesdesigns.com/bears.
You can also see a better picture of one of the demo bears in this Flickr photoset here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/n4bwr/sets/72157608599501378/
Thanks to anyone who is willing to help out.
Forgot to mention, if you are on Facebook, I have a page set up here.
