Joplin Police Department observing Child Abuse Awareness Month

(From the Joplin Police Department)

This morning, members of our detective division, patrol division and command staff along with their families and kids, placed 229 blue pinwheels in the grass in front of the police department. 

With April being Child Abuse Awareness Month, each pinwheel represents one of the 229 child abuse calls we responded to in 2017 that rose to the level of requiring an investigator to respond. 

The garden will remain in place for the rest of the month, along with a second garden at the South Station.
