What an incredible success our annual 2026 Kids and Cops event was! 🚓🎉

We want to extend a huge THANK YOU to all of the parents and grandparents who brought the kiddos out for such a fun-filled day. Seeing the smiles, laughter, and excitement from our community made this event truly special.

We are also extremely grateful to all of our sponsors for believing in and supporting the Ashford Police Department and helping make this event possible. Your generosity and partnership mean more than words can express.

A special thank you to Chief Anderson, Lieutenant Larry Flowers, Officer Christian Bartley, Officer Brandon Watson, Officer Clifford Wesley, Code Enforcement Officer/Animal Control Tyler Daniel and Administrative Assistant Patty Poole for all of your sacrifices, hard work, and dedication to protecting and serving the citizens of the City of Ashford.

Thank you to Kaitlyn Stapleton and the Ambassadors from Ashford High School for the wonderful face painting and for helping make the day even more special for the children who attended!

And a very special thank you to W Jones Photography for the amazing Kids and Cops banners used to help advertise the event. Ashford is extremely blessed to have you, and we appreciate you so much for your continued support of our community!
