 Santa knows where to find all the best and hottest smart phones just in time to make this Christmas better and bigger than ever. Better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless. For many children the moments they spend around police officers are not happy ones. Thanks to the Kentucky State Police Trooper Teddy program, troopers have a little softer tool to use when they run across children who are upset. We will give those out to children especially if they have been victimized or maybe we're going to come up on one that's been an automobile accident that's scared, try to give them a little comfort and calm them down a little bit. The Trooper Teddy program has been around since 1989 but due to budget issues has struggled at times to survive. But post nine Trooper William Petrie says the need for the Trooper Teddy program will never die. In their younger years they're forming a relationship with people and if they're afraid of the police then when they are in time of need later on when they're teenage years and later they will avoid the police and that can cause more problems for them in their later years than people realize. But children don't necessarily have to be given a Trooper Teddy in a stressful situation in fact any child can be given one for any reason. We have these two teddy bears here at post each post has a box or two of them they are available for the public to buy if they if they would like and they can give them to someone or have a trooper take it and give it to them try to bond some relations with the children that they might know is having some problems in their life. And this time of year Trooper Teddy would make a great stocking stuffer. The cost of a Trooper Teddy is twenty dollars and the money raised helps the program continue.
