Det. Dale Arterburn, center, is the first beneficiary of the Greer Police Department Citizen's Police Academy Alumni Association, Cops Night Out, a partnership with Greer restaurants. Dale Haule, left, and Bill Bennett called on the restaurants for the gift cards.
Bill Bennett, during a ride along with a Greer officer, learned of the extra time police work cuts into family time when extra time is required to finish a case, attend court, training, side jobs and mandatory call-ins.
Bennett, a member of the GPD Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association, and Dale Haule collected gift cards, two each, from six restaurants – (BIN112, Copper River Grill, Great Bay Oyster House, Rivera’s, The Strip Club 104 Steak House and Wild Ace Pizza and Pub.
February’s officer of the month is Det. Dale Arterburn.
“We would like to thank the participating restaurants,” Lt. Jim Holcombe stated. This program truly shows that ‘Policing is a Partnership’. It is a great idea from the CPAAA and awesome contribution from the local businesses.”
