The Cridersville Police Department is getting to know some of their residents who may not get out and about as much as they used to. Police Chief Nathan Fried spoke to a small group of Otterbein, Cridersville residents Tuesday afternoon. The chief was invited to join them for a morning cup of joe and a donut last fall, and it flourished into "Coffee with the Chief." It's a chance to build a bond between the department and the senior life facility.
