The Bentley Police Department raised $801 for its reserve program at a fundraiser breakfast, last Saturday morning. “We had a really turnout,” Chief James “Tim” Bryan said. “A lot better than I anticipated for the first time.” About 100 people came out to enjoy a breakfast of pancakes, sausage and eggs that morning. After accounting for supplies, Bryan said they should net $650 in profit from the fundraiser for the reserves. His goal was to replenish the fund for the police reserves so they don’t have to draw from the general fund for that. Needs for the reserve program include some new holsters and making sure each reserve has a dress uniform and a soft uniform. He’s also interested in a 50/50 matching grant for bulletproof vests since all his officers are wearing hand-me-downs right now.
