The Red Lodge Police Protective Association (RLPPA) wishes to make a positive contribution to the lives of the citizens in our community through youth programs, home, personal safety programs, and protecting the quality of life for Red Lodge citizens.
The RLPPA would like to give back to the community through programs and events and provide positive interaction with children and adults of the community in the following ways.
- Sponsor three children to attend Camp Postcard, a week-long camp with police officers in a fun and informal setting.
- Sponsor one high school student to attend the Junior Police Leadership Academy by providing travel costs to attend this free, week-long academy.
- Coffee With a Cop is a quarterly event for the entire community and county welcoming everyone to meet the officers in an informal setting for relaxed conversation and a chance to get acquainted.
- Shop With a Cop gives kids a chance to interact with the officers in their community through a fun activity for the holidays.
- Our Drug Awareness Program promotes drug awareness throughout the area to children and young adults. It is an on-going program in conjunction with our local Beartooth Elks, the National Family Partnership, and Red Ribbon Week.
The success and strength of a community lie in its ability to work toward common goals. The RLPPA’s efforts and programs are focused on achieving their mission to make positive contributions to the lives of the citizens of our community through working together.
