During National Police Week, we honor the men and women who wear the badge and serve our community with courage, professionalism, and sacrifice.

Every call answered, every late night, every holiday missed, and every difficult situation faced is done in service to others. We are grateful for the dedication of our officers, dispatchers, support staff, and the families who stand behind them each and every day.

Thank you to all who serve and protect.

Please help us celebrate our phenomenal Hopewell Police Officers!!

ATTENTION HOPEWELL, IT’S TORCH RUN TIME!!!

Think you’ve got what it takes to support a great cause and look good doing it?

Below is the link to the Hopewell Police Department Torch Run Team page. Here’s how you get in on it:

Click “Join Team”
Hit that little “+” like you mean it
Fill it out and submit your donation
Boom!!! Your shirt gets shipped right to your door

That’s it. No running required (unless you’re into that sort of thing… we won’t judge).

Let’s be real, if you don’t sign up, your neighbor probably will… and they’ll be walking around in their fresh Torch Run shirt while you’re still wearing that same old faded tee from 2012. Don’t let that happen to you.

Support a great cause. Rep your city. Look sharp doing it.

Let’s see who’s really got Hopewell pride. Share this far and wide!!!
