A local citizen inquired as to the legitimacy of a packet received in the mail.  It was from an organization called "Citizens Behind the Badge."  According to the organization's website, they intend to advocate for the men and women of law enforcement.  The Ephrata Police Department has no reason to doubt their authenticity, but the packaging may tend to indicate that they speak on our behalf, or that the EPD has a partnership with Citizens Behind the Badge.  We are unaffiliated with this organization, and we cannot vouch for it.  

As always, we encourage citizens to read and thoughtfully consider all materials provided by unsolicited mailers.
