It'sAll About theKIDS

Kids will always hold a special place in our hearts. Our team tries to participate in several events and activities where kids can build positive rapport with officers. Over the past year, officers visited local day care facilities, greeted elementary students before and after school, attended several birthday parties, purchased drinks from local lemonade stands, and looked for ways to bring about a smile to their faces.

The Mansfield community is home to thousands of children that look up to Mansfield's finest. The department welcomes citizens to let the team know when special events occur throughout the community.
