Dade City is blessed to have community partners who have graciously donated funding which allows the Police Department to give back to local citizens in a number of ways at Christmas time.

This morning, Chief James Walters and his staff were able to pay off the layaways being held at the Dade City Walmart.

Twenty-six (26) accounts, totaling over $4,300.00, were paid off.

The surprise and joy from the recipients was wonderful to behold.
“Each call made a lasting memory, not only for the recipients,
but the givers, as well”, said Chief Walters.

The Dade City Police Department wants to thank its anonymous benefactors who, along with the Dade City Police Foundation, do so much for the community all year long.

This support is magnified even more at this time of year when so many are in need of help. — from Lieutenant Brian A. Uppercue, PIO
