A Heartfelt Thank You to VFW Post 2858

On behalf of the Tiffin Police Department, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2858 for their generous donation toward the creation of our new Soft Interview Room.

A Soft Interview Room is a specially designed space to provide comfort and safety for victims of traumatic crimes—such as sexual assault, child abuse, and domestic violence—when they share their experiences with law enforcement. Unlike traditional interview rooms, these spaces feature soft lighting, comfortable furniture, and calming décor to help promote emotional well-being during an incredibly difficult process.

Thanks to the VFW’s generosity, we are now about one-third of the way toward making this project a reality. Once completed, this room will be available not only to Tiffin Police Officers and Detectives, but also to the Seneca County Sheriff’s Office, Children Services staff, and any visiting law enforcement agencies who need a compassionate setting to interview someone in crisis.

Our mission is to serve and protect our most vulnerable and hold accountable those who would harm them. The support from VFW Post 2858 directly strengthens that mission, and for that, we are truly thankful.

Chief David Pauly
