The Chillicothe Police Department said it has created a new program with the intention of interacting with the public to keep the community safe.

The Department said the new program is called “Police in Action”. It said through the program it will be holding different events in which officers will interact with the public.

The first Police in Action event will be teaming up with rehabilitating drug addicts.

“Police in Action will team with rehabilitating drug accidents bringing presentations through Chillicothe to assist in cleaning up our community,” the department said on Facebook. “Our first presentation will be for the Lifepoint Church youth group on February 17, 2016. Our focus of this presentation will be to inform the youth of what the Chillicothe Police Department stands for and what we want to accomplish. We want the youth to hear the testimonies of the recovering drug addicts and the impact that drugs have had on their lives.”

It said the plan for Police in Action is to have events throughout the year interacting with the community, such as presentations, safety events, sporting events, and youth events.
