serve the community as Police Reserve Officers. These Reserve Officers donate thousands of
hours of service to the community, often working unusual hours and in challenging weather
conditions. The donation from the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Bureau
was specifically provided to support the Reserve Program and their service during the 2022
Rivertown Days Celebration. The proceeds will be used to cover costs associated with providing
uniforms, training, and safety equipment to reserve personnel. In addition, some of the donated
funds will be used to recognize reserve officers and promote volunteerism.
