“I believe that a stuffed animal gives children peace and comfort in sometimes scary situations,” says Bedford Police Chief Terry Moore. “When we hand a child a stuffed animal often they respond with a smile and their demeanor changes. We want children to feel safe when they have interactions with the police and this donation from the Lawrence County Boys & Girls Club will help promote that opportunity.”
