The Springville Police Department received at $5,000 Community Grant check from Springville Walmart last week, a move that highlights the local Walmart’s commitment to law enforcement.

Springville Police Chief Wayne Walton was on hand to receive the grant, and was very appreciative of the support he receives from the community. He was full of praise for the Walmart staff, emphasizing that they are “huge” supporters of their local police officers.

He also says that the money was put to good use.
