Remember being a kid and all you wanted to do was ride your bike all summer?
Just in time for the season, police across central Ohio are making that possible for hundreds of kids.
In a partnership organized by the Starfish Assignment, the Columbus Division of Police teamed up with Dublin Police, the Ohio State University Police, and officers from John Glenn Columbus International Airport to donate bikes.
The donations from across central Ohio resulted in more than 400 bikes for the Bikes & Badges program.
With spring cleaning in full swing, local police agencies and a nonprofit are accepting donations of used bikes to be refurbished and given to children across Columbus.
For the second year, Starfish Assignment is partnering with law enforcement agencies across central Ohio for the project.
In 2020, bikes were given primarily to children on Columbus West Side. This year, the program is hoping to collect 400 bikes to distribute at recreation centers in Linden, the East Side and the West Side.
Starfish is working with Columbus police, Dublin police, Ohio State University police and officers from John Glenn Columbus International Airport.
Dublin police will be hosting a bicycle donation drive from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday at the Dublin Justice Center, located at 6565 Commerce Parkway. There will be a drive-thru area where donations can be made from vehicles.
Officer s concern leads to donation of 500 door security bars for Columbus residents

Five hundred Columbus families are now able to feel safer in their homes thanks to the Columbus Division of Police, Lowe’s and The Starfish Assignment.
The idea originated from Columbus police officer Dan Snyder who said there were three homes broken into in his precinct in one week. One of those was a domestic violence survivor he wanted to keep safe after her abuser was removed from the home.

Following the successful launch of the HARMONY project’s underwater CCTV camera at the Malta National Aquarium last summer, within the same project, a team within the Department of Geosciences of the Faculty of Science (Prof. Alan Deidun, Dr Adam Gauci, Johann Galdies) conceived the design of an animation clip on marine Invasive Alien Species (IAS) so as to better inform the general public about the hazards posed by the entry of such species.
The clip, which has been uploaded on social media, summarises in layman’s terms the salient points concerning the mechanisms which lead to the transfer of marine IAS from one geographical regional to another, to their ecological and socio-economic impacts as well as to possible management solutions.
