Oakland County Sheriff's Office Community Services
Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard and Rochelle Heyniger, a resident of Rochester Hills and Vice-President of the Oakland County Republican Party who helped spearhead the Bears on Patrol effort (photo archives, December 1999).
These warm and fuzzy friends are one way to ease the fears of young children who are caught in difficult situations, often bringing a sense of security to a child who is overcome with anxiety.
Many area service groups and individuals have generously donated teddy bears and other stuffed animals for this program.
If you would like to know how to contribute teddy bears to the Bears on Patrol program, please send us an e-mail.
