Promoting the partnership of law enforcement and citizens in support of a safe community.

Support Us

The Cottage Grove Crime Prevention Board could not accomplish its mission of supporting the Cottage Grove Police Department and educating citizens about crime prevention if not for the generous support of the citizens and businesses of Cottage Grove.  You can support your Cottage Grove Crime Prevention Board by attending fun community events, purchasing merchandise, or making a tax deductable donation.  Any support is greatly appreciated and used to make our community a safer place to live.

Attend Events

An easy and often fun way to learn about crime prevention and help support your Cottage Grove Police Department is to attend Cottage Grove Crime Prevention Board events. Throughout the year we host, sponsor, and participate in a number of events such as National Night Out, pancake breakfasts, parades, and workshops on current topics such as identity theft. Please see our News and Events page for upcoming events.

Purchase Merchandise

Depending on the event or current initiative, we will occasionally sell items such as shirts or pins to raise awareness or funding.  All profits for the proceeds go directly to the effort. We currently have the following items available for purchase:

  • Cottage Grove Police K-9 Unit T-Shirt $10.00
    Show your support for the new Cottage Grove Police K-9 Dog Program by purchasing one of these t-shirts. We currently have all adult sizes availble in grey with a black logo.

  • Cottage Grove Police K-9 Dog Pin $5.00
    Show your support for the new Cottage Grove Police K-9 Dog Program by purchasing a K-9 Dog Pin.  These pins are made of brass and feature a raised etching of a police dog. 

To purchase any of the items show, please contact us.  We also sell these items at most Cottage Grove Crime Board Events.
