On December 12, Sergeant Brinzey and Betsy Shores with the Cornelius Police Department attended the Lake Norman Regional Medical Center (LNRMC) Auxiliary Annual Luncheon and Teddy Bear Parade at River Rub Country Club.

Throughout the year, volunteers with the LNRMC Auxiliary collect stuffed animals to donate to area police departments that can give them to children during times of crisis in their lives. The Cornelius Police Department, along with members from the Mooresville and Davidson Police Departments, received assorted stuffed animals and they look forward to sharing them with children in the community.
