The Grandview Police Department partnered with the Grandview
School District to rollout the premier of a powerful recruitment video that
shares personal stories of Grandview officers. The event brought high school
students and officers together during a Pizza with Police lunch hour Friday.
“Move Toward the Badge” is a concept aimed to encourage trusting
relationships between the community and local law enforcement. This event
is just one of the police department’s many community engagement programs that
is proactive in forming positive relationships with the youth of the Grandview
community. Students had the opportunity to ask questions and speak with
officers one-on-one.
“We strive to make positive connections with the youth; we see
this as a long-term investment both in their future and our City’s future. We
hope the video resonates with our local students. The City of Grandview is
blessed with a diverse community. It would be great if we could develop some
“home-grown” police officers, students that we have had contact with in grade
school, middle school, high school and beyond. ,” said Charles Iseman,
Grandview Police Chief.
The event was featured on NBC 41 Action News and KMBZ radio.
