🌟Partner Spotlight🌟 Meet Officer Krista Fryczynski, a 7-year veteran of the Traverse City Police Department. We’re thankful for her collaboration and support as Safe Harbor’s community officer. Here’s more about Officer Fryczynski’s important role with the shelter, which she has held for two years: Close collaboration: “I work closely with Safe Harbor staff to collaborate on concerns involving guests and individuals within the vulnerable population who may need assistance and resources. Together, we focus on identifying the root causes of ongoing issues, with my goal being to reduce calls for service while building rapport and trust with our vulnerable population in Traverse City.” Giving back: “What I enjoy most is getting to know people in our community, building relationships, and helping connect individuals with the support they need.” A powerful partnership: “I truly value the partnership with Safe Harbor and the work they do for our community. Having strong relationships between law enforcement, service providers, and the vulnerable population helps create better outcomes for everyone involved.” Thank you, Officer Fryczynski, for all that you do! We are so grateful! 🌟💙
