Bloomington Police Sweeten Community Relations with 'Breakfast with a Cop' Event for Local YouthsSource: Facebook/Bloomington Police Department, MN

Breakfast with a badge? Bloomington's Finest dished out more than crime prevention tips this past Tuesday morning, serving up flapjacks and smiles to two lucky local kids. Logan and Owen started their day off with a bang, nabbing free meal tickets, and a siren-filled ride to school, all courtesy of the Bloomington Police outreach program "Breakfast with a Cop."

The duo earned their special morning by winning a raffle at their school carnival, as reported by the Bloomington PD’s Facebook page. Their prize was a hearty breakfast from Chick-fil-A, followed by a thrilling ride to school, lights flashing, in the back of a squad car. This community event, which aims to foster positive relationships between the police force and the people they serve, was dubbed "the highlight of these officers’ day" by the Department.

Chick-fil-A's involvement stretches beyond mere sustenance. The fast-food giant has been an ongoing partner with Bloomington schools, as per the Bloomington Police Department, MN, adding a dash of corporate support to local education and community initiatives.
