The Knox County Sheriff’s Office is blessed to have many community partners. Fraley and Schilling, Inc. – Knoxville Terminal has partnered with us to provide children with bears as part of their Care Bear Patrol Program.
These soft, cuddly, and adorable bears are sporting the Knox County Sheriff’s Office Badge too! The care bear patrol will undoubtedly bring comfort to children who might be involved in a stressful or frightening situation when they encounter law enforcement.
“We are grateful for Fraley & Schilling and their Care Bear Patrol Program. It’s very generous of their drivers to supply new bears for our agency to distribute to children in what could be a scary time in their lives. Partnerships like this truly make our community one of the best”!
