Today, the Boston Police Department (BPD) facilitated an event intended to reinforce strong community relationships, through engaging the elder residents of Hyde Park. Arranged under the moniker, BPD in the Community: Coffee with a Cop With The Elders in Hyde Park, the event successfully brought residents and police officers together.
The BPD Command Staff and Officers assigned to District E-18 (Hyde Park) made a concerted effort, visiting the elders at Blake Estates for a friendly day of coffee, conversation and games. And while it was a period for bonding, the competitive spirit didn't waver, with the seniors demonstrating they were there to play and win.
One game particularly caught everyone's attention: Dominoes. Elders proved a challenging force, as they metaphorically "laid the smackdown," on the officers, securing in a classic game victory, as per the BPD news release.
