Nevada, IA: Police Department Receives Grant for Character Training

The Nevada Police Department will receive a $2,200 grant for CC! training from the Community Foundation of Greater Story County. Nevada Police Chief Michael Tupper said Nevada community members can also take part in the training. The Department will use a small slice of the funds to buy CC! decals for police vehicles.

Chief Tupper gives much credit for the grant to Pam Carnine. "I'm proud of the work Pam put into writing the grant," Mr. Tupper told the Nevada Journal. "She did an outstanding job, and we couldn't have done it without her."

CC! Nevada chairman Mark Frideres called CC! "an awesome forum to teach kids valuable life skills and lessons," and added, "Of course it is used extensively in the Nevada schools, but also it is utilized by the businesses, churches and city programs. For example the Parks and Rec Board uses Pursuing Victory With Honor in their calendars and has signs in the local parks displaying the character Pillars. There is a downtown business owner that let us paint a character mural on the side of his building."
