☕ Great morning at Coffee with a Cop!
Huge thank‑you to The PNC Center and BOMA for hosting and partnering with us to bring the community together. We appreciate everyone who stopped by to talk, ask questions, and connect with our Downtown officers.
What a rejuvenating day. Kids are so awesome and the support from the entire school was so nice to be a part of.
One of the students told me he prays for Michael Wolley every day (not having any idea who that was) so we called Chief Wolley and they got to meet on the phone.
Thank you to the students, teachers, and staff of Lumen Christi Catholic School for the warm welcome to Cmdr Foley and Capt Leary. From student-led tours and classroom reading to thoughtful questions, handwritten cards, and prayers for our officers—an incredibly meaningful visit.
I am proud to announce the appointment of 27-year IMPD veteran Tanya Terry Chief of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. When it comes to the safety and security of Indianapolis, few have spent as many waking hours dedicated to our city as Tanya.
IMPD Downtown District Cmdr. Shane Foley told neighbors that, despite some public perception, downtown remains one of the safest districts in Indianapolis. https://t.co/EIxOOaIcWU
Had a great chat with General Goodwin today learning about the Indiana War Memorials, the museum and mutual interests in public safety issues.
I learned they host 350 events a year with over 1M participants. This highlights the number of visitors we have DT every year.
It was 27 degrees outside and what did I decide to do? Go for a bike ride. And I’m glad a did. Fun afternoon with members of our community.
Trust me, I was bundled up.
The support from downtown community members and businesses is incredible. Our officers commented they lost a space to workout a few years ago and an apartment complex came through to fill that void.
💙 A huge thank you to Penrose on Mass Apts for generously allowing our DT district officers to use your gym to work out!
Your support helps us stay strong—physically and in community partnership. We’re grateful for your commitment to those who serve. 👮♂️🏋️♀️ #CommunitySupport

I’m very excited for this new role. I’m already downtown often in my day-to-day life. Downtown being and feeling safe isn’t just a job, it’s personal to me.

Today, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) Chief Christopher Bailey announced the appointment of Captain Shane Foley as the Commander of Downtown District.

Even when the call ends, the mission to serve continues. 💙
After responding to a home, a North District middle shift officer returned the next day to repair the homeowner’s broken door.
That’s the kind of service that makes a difference.

Proud of our IMPD officers and detectives who stayed focused on our mission and not the noise. Their professionalism represents the best of our department. IMPD will continue to be a steady, reliable presence in our city because our community deserves nothing less.
Capt Foley visited @IPSMerleSidener today to read a book to 1st graders and answer questions they had. They had a LOT of questions.
At the beginning 3 said they wanted to be police officers. 👮♀️ 👮 At the end, most of them wanted to be police officers…only 15 years to go.
@AdamThePIO That is a pet peeve of mine. I’d rather hear, “Hello. Thank you for being here,” or “Normally I would start off with good morning but it has not been a good morning for our community.”
Proud to share I’ve graduated from SMIP — an intensive executive leadership course with law enforcement leaders from across the country.
Grateful to @IMPD_Chief for investing in me, and thankful for the friendships, growth, and ideas I’m bringing back.
