Hastings Ambassador program ready to roll

 A new program of “Ambassadors” designed to make visitors feel welcome during events in Hastings is ready to “mingle” in downtown during the Christmas celebration in the city, “Jingle and Mingle,” on Dec. 2. 3 and 4, according to Hastings Police Chief Jeff Pratt. They will also be a visible presence at the city’s annual Ball Drop on New Year’s Eve.

 

Led by the first appointed ambassador, David McIntyre, eight volunteers have taken training in basic first aid, how to be good observers, and when and who to call, if needed. They will be circulating during events  giving event information, where to find parking, directions and being “ambassadors” for the city.

 

The unpaid volunteers, well identified by bright green vests and logos on hats and jackets, will represent both the police department and the city as a whole. They will not have any police powers and will not carry weapons, Pratt said.

“It’s another way to build relationships with residents and visitors,” he said.
