Recently, officers with the Muncie Police Department toured an animal shelter and found that they were running drastically low on supplies to take care of over 350 felines. So, they offered to accept donations to the shelter to pay off parking tickets.
An Indiana police department is earning praise for its compassionate approach to parking tickets this month — one that directly benefitted the city’s feline residents.
The video was inspired by a police-department tour of the Muncie Animal Care and Services Shelter on July 8, where officers found the staff to be running drastically low on supplies. The center, which started in 2012, takes care of over 350 felines. Officers delivered the supplies directly to the center.
— Muncie Police July 19, 2019 "A lot of people have donated cat food and litter this week! Most of these people didn't even have a parking ticket," Muncie Police shared on their Twitter."We are glad this week’s unique promotion helped spread the word!"
