Fastest Law Enforcement Team is Windsor Heights Police

(Windsor Heights, IA) - On May 19, 2014, four members of the Windsor Heights Police Department received the American Lung Association Fight for Air Climb 2014, Fastest Law Enforcement Team Award. The team also received the award for Top Law Enforcement Fundraising Award. The Windsor Heights Police Department raised $700 for this great cause. The four member team included Chief Dennis McDaniel, Lt. Derek Meyer, Officer Dani Metzger and Officer Amanda Woods.

The Fight for Air Climb has issued a Law Enforcement Challenge for the last five years. This challenge goes out to all Iowa Law Enforcement agencies, pitting departments against each other for the best time and the most funds collected.

The Fight for Air Climb was held Sunday, March 16, 2014 at the EMC Insurance Companies, Hub Tower and Des Moines Marriott Downtown. This year’s event had nearly 1,200 participants, 200 volunteers and raised over $253,000. Funds raised enable the American Lung Association in Iowa to better serve the local community and impact the lives of children and adults who suffer from lung disease, lung cancer and other pulmonary ailments such as COPD and asthma.

Thank you to the Windsor Heights community for supporting our team with their generous donations. The Windsor Heights Police Department looks forward participating in the 2015 Fight for Air Climb.
