‘Cops N’ Rodders’ Car Show Saturday

The Decorah Police Department is planning the first annual “Can’t Drive 55, Cops N’ Rodders” car show to raise money for two good causes on May 14. May 14 on Water Street in downtown Decorah. The event is free and open to the public.
All car show entry fees will benefit Police Survivors Concerns (COPS), and a 40/50 raffle will support the new Police K-9 Loki. Loki joined the police force in February and continues to train with Decorah Police Department K-9 Handler Nick Yaneff.
First-come, first-served registration until 11 a.m. and prizes will be announced at 2 p.m. Awards will be presented for the top 25 cars as well as Cops Choice, Ladies Choice and Kids Choice awards. Dash Plaques will be awarded for the first 50 registrations.
COPS is a national organization that hopes to support survivors of police officers who have died in the line of duty, approximately 140-160 law enforcement professionals each year. COPS was organized in 1984 with 110 individual members. Today, the COPS has more than 60,000 survivors. Survivors include spouses, children, parents, siblings, relatives and co-workers of officers who died in the line of duty under federal government criteria. COPS is governed by a National Council of Law Enforcement Survivors. All programs and services are administered from the national office in Camdenton, Mo. COPS has over 50 chapters nationwide that work with survivors at the local level.
