Thank you Asbury Chapel for providing us a wonder shrimp boil. With high stress jobs, great food and fellowship are good for the soul.

Special thanks to Ryan Homes for stopping by our house. Like a great neighbor, they didn’t come empty handed. Pizza party for the best in blue. ryanhomes

On a warm Georgia afternoon, members of the Community Engagement Division of the Gainesville Police Department handed out popsicles to residents throughout the city.

As temperatures climbed, the popsicles quickly became a popular item, proving that sometimes community engagement can be as simple as a smile, a conversation, and something cold to beat the heat. Fortunately, no reports were filed for “brain freeze,” although a few residents may have come dangerously close.

The Community Engagement Division continues to look for meaningful ways to connect with residents, demonstrating that positive policing can happen one popsicle at a time
