New London Children Praying for Police Officers & Firefighters

Three children made a wall hanging for the officers to thank them for their service. Police officers extended a "thanks" of their own.

This afternoon, the members of the New London Police Department had 3 delightful young visitors from a local church. The children, as well as the very kind adults who accompanied them, have been praying for police officers and firefighters in the area. As a “thank you” for the service of our members, the children presented the agency with a beautiful wall hanging that they’ve made. (Pictured here.)

The New London Police Department would like to extend a very special “thank you” of our own to Lydia H., Samual H., Benjamin H, your families, and church community. Your kindness, thoughtfulness, and lovely artwork are much appreciated. It is our pleasure to help you and to keep you safe!
