Waterford Police Department Donates iPad to Child with Educational Needs.

Waterford Police Donates iPad to child with educational needs.

The picture to the right shows Waterford Police Department Detective John Davis giving an Apple iPad to Diane and Colin Harrington representing the Kelsey Harrington Foundation. This iPad will be given to a Waterford child with severe health issues, rendering them unable to attend school. A previously-loaned iPad has proven to be a valuable learning tool in this child's development, and this donation will allow the child to have one permanently.

Detective Davis worked a case that started on "Black Friday" 2011 at a local store, in which two peeople were arrested for using fraudulent credit cards and stolen identities to purchase items, including this iPad. The subjects were arrested at that time by WPD Officers, including Detective Davis.

After the arrest, Detective Davis found other stolen items and numerous fraudulent credit cards. As a result of his diligent efforts, the subjects were arrested again, and numerous people were informed that their identities had been compromised.

The WPD is proud to turn this item over to the Kelsey Harrington Foundation, which supports local children with developmental and learning issues. More information can be found at their site, www.kelseysharringtonfoundation.org/
