Kids For Cops In Their Communities hasn't added a story.
My 5 year old son, Carter, started all this with a trip to his local police department in New Baltimore,MI to deliver slurpees. After we left he asked why we could not take more out to all the Michigan State Troopers that he knew. I had to explain that if we did that all the slurpees would melt, but I was sure we could come up with a different plan.
Carter decided to invite his friends and hand out water in a local parking lot to any and all law enforcement that wanted to stop by. That is how Kids For Cops In Their Communities began. We invited all local law enforcement via facebook and flyers to come by during a 3 hour period. We handed out water, pop, chips, and food that was donated by local restaurants.
More than 25 kids showed and more than 50 officers/troopers across the area came out. It was an afternoon of fun. The kids got to shake hands and show appreciation to all the officers for all the hard work they do. In turn the officers and troopers opened their cars and hearts to the kids.
I don't think it is an afternoon that either group will ever forget. Most importantly it showed our kids that cops are normal everyday people. They are moms, dad, aunts, uncles, brothers, and sisters, just like everyone else. They are not out to hurt or scare anyone. They are here to help. They are our heroes, our friends.
I want to afford every child this oppurtunity. Any donation no matter how small will allow us to purchase the water or chips to go into another neighborhood. It will allow us the oppurtunity to bridge the gap between our children and our law enforcerment memebers. It all starts with our kids. Lets make the relationship a good one from the beginning.
