Roseville Police Department Gives Back During the Holidays
Officers from the Roseville Police Department are celebrating the holidays in a uniquely different way this year. Officers are issuing gift certificates rather than traffic citations for drivers in the city of Roseville.
Why?
The Roseville Police Departments’ intention is to improve the lives of residents in the City of Roseville. For this reason, the police department has created a program to give back holiday cheer and to educate at the same time. Pulling over drivers in less affluent areas in an attempt to expand their community outreach program. They are then handing out Walmart and Target gift certificates. The gift certificates were donated by the Roseville Crime Stoppers, the Police Department, and the Rotary Club.
