The Pella Police Department is preparing to honor both its current staff and two long-serving reserve officers in a pair of recognition ceremonies this spring, highlighting the vital role reserve personnel play in supporting public safety. The department will celebrate retiring Reserve Officers Glenn Meinders, who served for over three decades, and Ron Meinders, who dedicated more than 25 years to the community. The events not only recognize individual careers of service, but also underscore the lasting impact reserve officers have in strengthening small-town policing through volunteerism, experience, and unwavering commitment to their communities
