Indiana police department has officer trading cards to connect with kids

Cards feature biography, hobbies and a quote from the officer

(MARION, Ind.) – Remember the popularity of baseball cards or even Pokemon cards?

A police department in northern Indiana is taking a similar approach as a way to better connect with the community. 

The Marion Police Department has personalized trading cards for every one of their officers, along with their K-9, SWAT team and other members of the department. 

The goal is to personalize and humanize the police officers to kids as well as grownups. 

The backside of the card features a biography, their police service history, hobbies and a quote from the officer. 

Each officer has 1,000 of their own cards to pass out when they're out in the community.
