Background Information:
The Hastings Police Department's Police Reserve Program is made up of area residents who 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 2018 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.
