Decatur Police Department

On Monday of this week "HWY 27 Landscape Supply" of Decatur revitalized the PD's landscaping along the street side of the building. Overgrown bushes and trees that partially obscured security cameras were removed. Several new plants and bushes were installed, along with fresh mulch and some drainage stone. We hope this fresh and updated look is approved by all Decatur residents. Copper the rock snake has moved along to retirement. Perhaps in the future we will host another community art project.

Today, Koda brought along Officer Elwell & Chief Ge**er to the Bellmont High School’s Principles of Business Management Class for a debrief meeting for their Kozy Koda project. The students all participated in this project, held specific roles, and put together a really great fund raiser. 350 of the plushy toys were ordered and sold. 100% of the money raised was then donated back into the K9 fund that supports Koda.

Today each student got up and explained their role in the project, along with areas of the business that struggled to areas that exceeded expectations. This project raised nearly $2300 for the K9 fund that operates solely from donations. Great work to each student involved, as well as to the generous donors who purchased these for every resident at Woodcrest Nursing. Those members of our community were filled with joy and all smiles after being visited by these students and given this gift.

Today after the debrief meeting each student and Mr. Lineberry were each presented a department challenge coin as well as a certificate of appreciation in recognition of their dedicated hard work towards this project. We have no doubt these young men will be future entrepreneurs, successful businessmen, or owners of their own operations someday. Go Braves!
