EPPD Joins Lowe’s Kids Workshop to Strengthen Community Engagement
In an effort to foster strong community relationships and engage with the younger generation, the Eagle Pass Police Department (EPPD) participated in Lowe’s Home Improvement Store’s “Kids Workshop of the Month.” This event provided a unique opportunity for officers to interact with children and their families while showcasing the department’s latest patrol units.
According to sources at the event, the EPPD’s involvement was met with enthusiasm from both the kids and their parents. The workshop allowed children to engage in hands-on activities while getting to know the local officers, creating a positive and educational environment.
Building Community Connections
The event, hosted by Lowe’s management, aimed to bring the community together in a fun, interactive setting. The presence of EPPD officers added an exciting element, as kids were given the chance to explore some of the newest patrol vehicles, ask questions, and learn more about law enforcement. This type of community interaction is key to building trust and understanding between the police and the public, particularly with younger generations.
“We are grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this event,” an EPPD representative shared. “It’s important for us to engage with the community in informal settings like this, where kids can see us as approachable and here to help.”
A Thank You to Lowe’s
Lowe’s management was recognized for their efforts in organizing the workshop and for inviting the EPPD to participate. The event not only allowed kids to enjoy a creative activity but also provided a platform for local law enforcement to foster community ties.
Events like this underscore the value of collaboration between businesses and law enforcement to create a safe and welcoming environment for families. The EPPD’s involvement exemplifies their commitment to being a visible, approachable part of the community.
