The members of the Police Department believe Crete is a wonderful place to work and live. We pride ourselves as being nothing more than
the “Community Helpers” Crete’s second grade students learn about in
school. Due to this reasoned approach to police work, visitors and residents
may depend on a fair, just, and compassionate response to their needs.

JUNIOR POLICE
PATROL: Teaching Crete’s Children to be Safe
There’s far more to
law enforcement than the drama seen on television. Most of what we do is
fairly mundane but nevertheless important. One pleasant activity we all enjoy
is teaching children to be safe.
During the months of April and May, Officers Stastny and
Morris taught 43 fourth grade students to avoid the dangers of drug abuse,
how to plan for disasters, how to react to an emergency, and how to protect
their belongings. This was the largest class in the program’s 10-year
history.
