The Smithfield Police Department, along with the Smithfield Fraternal Order of Police – Lodge #17 and Special Olympics Rhode Island, have created a Smithfield Police Special Olympics RI Patch. 

These patches were available for purchase at the Northern RI Area Special Olympic Games at Bryant University on May 1^st and are now available to be purchased online and at the Smithfield Police Department.  During the month of June, members of the Smithfield Police will have the option of wearing this alternate patch on their uniforms.  The Special Olympics RI patch is available to the public for $10.00 each, and all proceeds from patch sales will be donated to Special Olympics Rhode Island. (https://specialolympicsri.org).

If you would like to purchase the Smithfield Police Special Olympics RI patch, go to the Smithfield FOP Lodge #17 Square Store (http://smithfield-fraternal-order-of-police—lodge-no-17.square.site), which takes payment in the form of credit cards, debit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.  Patches are $10 each.  A $1.00 shipping and handling fee per patch will be added to online orders. 

Patches can also be purchased in person from a member of the Smithfield Fraternal Order of Police at the Smithfield Police Department, Monday through Friday, 8am-3pm, in the form of cash only.  Please ask for Sgt. Jason Corser, Sgt. Paul Gorman, or Officer Jon Ricciarelli to assist you with your purchase.

On August 13, 2021 the Smithfield Police Department hosted its Community Police Night Out from 5pm-8pm at the Smithfield High School. There were food trucks, rock climbing wall, sand art, and a dunk tank for members of the public to pay to dunk a cop in a tank of water. The Community Police Night Out was able to raise approximately $1,200. The $1,200 is going to be donated to the ALS Association of Rhode Island in the memory of former Smithfield Police dispatcher Cheryl Corsa-Crook.

On Tuesday, May 16th, Officer Jon Ricciarelli was honored with the 2017 Police Officer of the Year Award from the Chepachet Grange.

A major part of this award was for Officer Ricciarelli’s extensive work with the Smithfield Police Explorers and his work in the community.
