Mark your calendars for a scoop of community engagement today, when Montgomery County Police Department's 2nd District officers, including Officer Laurie Reyes from the Autism/IDD Unit, will host 'Cone With a Cop' at Max’s Best Ice Cream in Bethesda, Maryland. From 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., locals have the opportunity to enjoy frozen treats served by the very officers who patrol their streets, fostering an environment for open dialogue in a relaxed, informal setting.
The community-centric event, detailed in an announcement from the Montgomery County Police website, is designed to strengthen the bond between law enforcement and residents of the county, Officer Laurie Reyes and her colleagues will be at Max's Best Ice Cream, situated at 7770 Woodmont Ave, ready to dish out ice cream but also to listen, engage, and broaden the understanding between the public and the police force who is their to serve and protect them.
An interesting twist to this gathering is the partnership of Max's Best Ice Cream with Best Buddies International, an organization known for advocating the employment of individuals living with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This touch of social responsibility ensures that every ice cream cone delivered at the event carries a message of inclusivity and community support, echoing the ethos of both Max’s Best Ice Cream and the Montgomery County Police Department’s efforts to serve a diverse community.
