Texas Officers Thank Hillsborough, Montgomery For Donations

HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — The Dickinson Police Officer’s Association in Texas posted a thank you to local police departments and residents including in Hillsborough and Montgomery for their donations to help Hurricane Harvey survivors.

"Your thoughts, prayers, and support are overwhelming. The financial support and product donations have assisted a number of our officers who personally suffered losses such as damage to their homes or their cars being completely lost due the flooding. Because of the caring from our brothers and sisters in blue, such as your members, we are able to see a light at the end of the tunnel and begin making that journey to recovery. The items you sent help provide relief to our community as we distributed them to the Hurricane Harvey survivors," said Greg Trantham of the Dickinson Police Officer's Association on Facebook.
