Grass Valley Police Officer’s Association

This year's, 30th ANNIVERSARY, Police Officer's Association Caring and Sharing event was a little different due to COVID-19, but we were still very fortunate to make Christmas-time extra special for some deserving community families! We hope they, and the entire community, have a Merry Christmas and great new year! We look forward to continuing to serve this amazing City in 2021!

Members of the Grass Valley Police Officer’s Association participated the AnewDay RAKE event today by volunteering on their day off to help with roadside cleanup today.

We miss you Cam
