Check Presentation with Officer Marks of Minnetonka Police Department

This week, Aftermath’s Tina Bao, Stephen Brown, Genna Hines, &  Tony Cusinato travelled to Minnetonka, Minnesota to make a special delivery. They met with Minnetonka Police Chief, Scott Boerboom, and Officer Scott Marks to present a $1000 grant to the department’s mental health program.

Officer Marks was the 1st Runner Up in last month’s Why We Serve service grant competiton. His 4 minute video, produced as part of the contest, spoke about the mental health crisis facing Minnetonka and other communities. The grant will go toward creating an after-care and followup program for the local area. Officer Marks says he hopes the program will go on to spur similar efforts in other communities.
