TCHC Special Constable Appreciation
January 31, 2022
Congratulations to our community’s very own TCHC Special Constables Khan and Kinney.
Their non-stop boots-on-the-ground hard work within the community has allowed the residents and 31 NCOs to really all work together toward the common goal of safety. These gentlemen changed their schedules and came in on days off to ensure the community was never let down. Always out of their cars engaging and genuinely getting to know the people they serve. From the beginning, they solidified the “Safe Outdoor Play 2021” by their commitment to the residents. They brought crafts, games and new ideas to every Safe Play to engage the children during such difficult times due to fears of gang gun violence, isolation and the Covid-19 virus.
Thank you for your hard work and dedication and these plaques are small gestures of that appreciation by everyone. Keep up the extraordinary work and stay safe.
