Area residents create foundation to ‘Back the Blue’ in City of Rockwall

New Silent Partners group provides opportunity to anonymously support Rockwall Police

(ROCKWALL, TX – Sept. 12, 2016) Philanthropic residents in Rockwall have created a way for people to extend financial support for the Rockwall Police Department. Money donated to the Silent Partners organization helps ensure police in Rockwall have everything they need to do their jobs effectively and return home safely to their loved ones. Rockwall Mayor Jim Pruitt and Chief Kirk Riggs of the Rockwall Police Department will be among those gathering this week to thank area residents for their generous support. The event takes place this Wednesday, September 14, at 3 p.m. on the San Jacinto Plaza in Downtown Rockwall, and the public is invited to attend.

Rockwall residents have been moved by recent events involving police in Dallas and across the country, and wanted to reach out to show their support for local law enforcement. The funds received will directly benefit officers of the Rockwall Police Department for things such as assisting the families of fallen officers in Rockwall County, sending representatives to fallen officers’ funerals, and supporting local non-profit organizations and college scholarships.

“This new organization provides an incredible opportunity for those who have expressed an interest in giving to this worthwhile cause without being in the limelight,” said Mayor Pruitt. Anyone who would like to donate can send their contributions directly to the Rockwall Police Department at 205 West Rusk Street, Rockwall, Texas 75087. Please make sure to specify “Silent Partners” on the check, and donations of any amount are greatly appreciated.
