In recent weeks, there have been copious amounts of support pouring into the Prairie du Chien Police Department. “We’ve gotten a lot of cards, Facebook messages, baked goods, Dilly bars, cookies, bananas, flowers,” said Sgt. Kyle Teynor.
While the sweet treats and kind gestures have been devoured and appreciated, the department stressed they didn’t expect this.
“It’s nice to have that reassurance. But, we didn’t think the community didn’t support us,” Teynor said.
