The holiday cheer is alive and well within the ranks of the Cleveland Division of Police, as they recently crowned the Personnel Unit the winner of their 2nd annual Christmas Tree Contest. This announcement was made in a social media post on the department’s official Facebook page. The Personnel Unit's tree stood out with a humanitarian twist, the decorations of gloves, hats, and scarves will be donated to the Women’s Shelter, bringing tangible warmth to those in need this yuletide season.
In a statement obtained by the Cleveland Division of Police, the "celebrity" judges found making a decision to be a Herculean task, acknowledging all participating Units/Districts for their exceptional creativity, teamwork, and holiday spirit. The win for the Personnel Unit also comes with perks—a new coffee maker and additional coffee supplies—further sweetening their victory.
The contest not only showcased the decorative prowess of the police force but also highlighted their community involvement. Each handpicked ornament destined for the shelter represents more than just seasonal decoration, it's a commitment to service and communal responsibility. As they illuminate their own corridors with festive trees, they're also brightening the darkest winter nights for others. A thoughtful reflection of the season's truest sentiments.
The social media post rounded off with words of gratitude towards everyone who participated, helping to make this year’s contest a festive success. The post garnered positive reactions from the community, demonstrating support for the department's holiday initiatives and their efforts to spread a little joy inside and outside the law enforcement sphere. According to the social media post, "Thank you to everyone who took part & helped make this year’s contest such a festive success."
