The Sullivan Police Department is trying to instill a positive relationship between residents and officers from a young age through a variety of programs.

Jim Wagner is Sullivan’s Police Chief. He says the department works with city schools and businesses to foster a good rapport with area youth.

Wagner says his officers understand the importance of working with kids, and they go the extra mile to do so.

Wagner appeared as a guest on the Newstalk WTIM Hometown Tour live from Sullivan City Hall.
