The newest project this fund will support is a respite area in City Hall for officers to use during their breaks.
In 2022, the fund supported a de-escalation simulator. The simulator allows officers to practice de-escalation techniques with real-time feedback. Each officer will train on the simulator four times a year along with classroom instruction.
Merris and Jean set up this fund to benefit the Mansfield Police Department several years ago. They want local law enforcement to know they appreciate their dedication to the community and hope others will support this fund too.
