HPD will join the Harrisonburg Fire Department, Harrisonburg Public Works, Harrisonburg Rescue Squad, Harrisonburg Department of Public Transportation and Harrisonburg Electric Commission to travel around various neighborhoods in the city.

Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this wonderful endeavor, and thank you to all our residents who have called and wrote us with all your kind statements, who have waved at us from front yards and windows, and who have reminded us that we will all get through this together.”
