CSX Police Support National Night Out with Back-to-School Backpack Event (2021)


CSX Police special agents worked alongside First Responders Children’s Foundation (FRCF) in August to support National Night Out and strengthen police-community relationships.

Eight CSX law enforcement officers — including the team’s newest K-9, Archie — worked with representatives of FRCF, a CSX Pride in Service partner, to prepare 2,050 back-to-school backpacks for distribution to children in need. The backpacks were sent to 12 police departments across Delaware, Illinois, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and South Carolina. Participating special agents included Jeff Hornyak, Michael Bullard, James Finnegan (with K9 Archie), Anna Dapson, Michael Wolcott, Charles J. Bury, Jr., Mike Morris and John Schneider.

National Night Out enhances relationships between neighbors and law enforcement, resulting in more-unified communities where residents feel safer. Through the simple act of providing much-needed supplies to families during the back-to-school season, officers developed positive connections with parents as well as local youth.
