Neenah police trading cards, weekend events on tap

Police trading cards aim to build connections

The Neenah Police Department is rolling out a new trading card challenge designed to get officers and residents talking in everyday settings. The first cards and stickers were handed out Thursday at a local coffee shop, kicking off a months-long push to collect all 30 officer cards by Thanksgiving.citeturn3search0turn3search4

Each card features an officer’s photo and a bit of personality, from playful poses to dramatic backdrops. Officers say the goal is simple: help kids and adults see the person behind the badge and make it easier to walk up, say hello and ask questions.citeturn3search0turn3search4

Pop-up card drops are expected a couple of times a month at different locations around the city, with details shared in advance on social media. Residents who complete the full set will be eligible for a special commemorative coin later this year.citeturn3search0turn3search4

After a round of snow late in the week, forecasters continue to flag the potential for slick spots on area roads, especially during the overnight and early morning hours.
