The Bridgeport Police Department’s newest officers joined the community for National Night Out.
A parade of police cadets arrived at Washington Park on Tuesday to kick off the event.
The goal of the national event is to build relationships between law enforcement and the community they serve.
“I decided to join the Bridgeport Police Department because I want to be a positive role model for my children in life,” says Bridgeport Officer Nicasius Felix. “We’re here to tell the community that we care and we love them, and we want to do well in every need.”
There were sports and games that brought residents and police together.
“It’s the message… a day of cooperation, participation, association. It’s the day we can get together,” says interim head Rebecca Garcia.
