The Franklin Police Department is serving up community engagement with a side of poultry at its upcoming 2nd Annual Chicken with a Cop event. Scheduled to unfold at the local Chick-fil-A on 2016 Columbia Ave., Franklin, this community-police mixer is set to take place on Wednesday, September 24, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. In a press release made available by FranklinTN.gov, the event is described as an evening designed to both strengthen community connections and to familiarize residents with the officers dedicated to serving their city.
Attendees of the Chicken with a Cop soirée will have a chance not only to share a meal, but also to candidly engage with their local law enforcement officers. Building upon the success of the inaugural event, officers will again be expected to jump behind the counter to serve food, take orders in the drive-thru, and in a personal touch, prepare drinks for their community members. Police vehicles will be on display in a 'Touch a Truck' exhibit, inviting families to intimately explore the machinery keeping their streets safe.
According to the information obtained from FranklinTN.gov, last year's event succeeded in mingling officers with patrons in a series of hands-on, lighthearted activities – a tradition that seems set to continue at this year's gathering.
Franklin residents are being encouraged to take advantage of this unique opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the intricacies of police work. The Franklin Police Department anticipates welcoming guests of all ages to what is poised to be a special evening filled with food, fun, and the opportunity to better connect with the men and women in blue. Full details about the event are made available through the city's official news release.
