Upshur County Crime Stoppers proudly supports local law enforcement agencies in Upshur County, Texas, including the Gilmer Police Department, through the use of funds raised from donations and events. This year, the organization is excited to unveil its 1st Commemorative Challenge Coin, offering a unique opportunity for community members to express gratitude to those who serve at various levels.
Funds generated from the sale of these challenge coins will be used to assist law enforcement agencies in acquiring essential tools and resources, further enhancing their ability to serve and protect the community. The challenge coins also provide individuals with a special way to show appreciation for the dedicated service of Emergency First Responders, such as Police Officers, Sheriff Deputies, Firefighters, EMTs, Paramedics, Animal Control, and Dispatchers.
The design of this inaugural coin is unique to Upshur County Crime Stoppers and marks a significant occasion of recognition and gratitude. Challenge coins are symbols of comradery and unity, signifying membership in a particular group and honoring the actions of those who receive them.
Ideal for commemorating holidays like Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Independence Day, as well as birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions, these Challenge Coins serve as a tangible representation of the shared history of courage, duty, and honor among those who willingly respond to challenging situations.
Upshur County Crime Stoppers encourages individuals to consider starting a meaningful tradition of collecting and sharing these coins with the brave individuals who respond to the call. These tokens of appreciation are small yet powerful gestures that recipients will cherish for years to come.
For those interested in obtaining one or more Challenge Coins, please contact Upshur County Crime Stoppers member Peter Mendoza at 903-680-0864. Members of the organization will also be available at upcoming events to assist in the purchase of these commemorative coins.
