Elizabethtown Police Department invites community to ‘Cookout with Cops’ this summer

The Elizabethtown Police Department is kicking off their Cookout with Cops series Thursday.

“This summer, we’re hosting a summer-long series called Cookout With Cops,” said EPD Public Information Officer Chris Denham. “Throughout the summer, we’ll be in various neighborhoods a couple times per week. Our first event is Thursday, June 4 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Haycraft Park.”

The EPD says the cookouts are an informal way for officers to connect with kids and adults alike throughout the community.

Denham says free hotdogs, drinks, and snacks will be provided, and there is also an incentive for some fun.

“Folks might even get the opportunity to throw a water balloon at me,” Denham said.

More dates and locations will be posted soon. Follow the Elizabethtown Police Department Facebook page for updates.
