Here's Carisa Temple with Police Chief Harnishfeger

Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, September 29, 2016

Here's a neat post from the Michael Harnishfeger, Ada Police Chief. It's from the police department's Facebook posted Tuesday:

Today while walking the halls of Ada school I discovered that it was Heroes and Villains Day.

Carisa Temple is a big fan of police and honored our profession by wearing her own police uniform. Carisa's uncle is a law enforcement professional with the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

Thanks Carisa, glad we are the heroes and not the villains :)

Always a pleasure to interact with our youth. The future is bright in Ada, Ohio.
