Prineville church gathers teddy bears for police

The Rev. Mike Wilson and his congregation at the Prineville Presbyterian Church held a stuffed teddy bear drive, to assist law enforcement.

Over 50 teddy bears were donated during the drive. On Tuesday, Wilson presented the teddy bears to Crook County Sheriff Jim Hensley and Capt. Mike Boyd of the Prineville Police Department at the Crook County Sheriff’s Office.

“The teddy bears are used by law enforcement when dealing with children during difficult times in their lives,” the sheriff’s office said.
