When Eddie Olschansky would head out on Cleveland's Cuyahoga River, he was reeling in more trash than just fish. He decided to use his kayak as a makeshift garbage truck and has built a big following with his volunteer cleanup program called Trash Fish.  

Mission Statement

Our mission is to strengthen the bonds between the Cleveland Division of Police and the citizens it serves, working together to make our city safer for all. To accomplish that goal, the CPF works proactively to support and invest in programs, community plicing initiatives and engagement, events that foster stronger relationships bwtween citizens and police officers, and police charities. 

Have you heard about the volunteer program that assists uniformed Police Officers? It's a great opportunity for trained and uniformed volunteers who are 18 years or older and willing to commit to a minimum of 20 hours a month. These volunteers can assist the officers in a variety of ways and receive training, uniforms, and mileage reimbursement. It's a wonderful way to give back to the community while gaining valuable experience.
