Citizens First Bank staff gathered recently at the bank’s Camanche branch, to present a donation to the Camanche Police Department.  Camanche City officials joined the police department for the presentation.

The Camanche Police Department is working to provide additional training for police officers who respond on medical calls with the Fire Department.  The additional skill level is needed to respond to frequent medical calls, and in particular to calls for senior citizens.  The donation from Citizens First will be used to help with the cost of training and the associated materials.

Kathy Forrest, bank president, stated, “We appreciate the Camanche Police Department and their willingness to respond to the community’s needs.  CFB enjoys being part of the Camanche community.”
