The Pittsburg Police Department is teaming up with the Pittsburg Ministerial Alliance in a nationwide initiative called National Faith & Blue Weekend. Founded in 2020, this event is designed to help promote better relationships between police departments, their officers, and their communities.
Pittsburg PD will participate in this community-strengthening endeavor by hosting a variety of events that will encourage stronger community relationships:
- Friday, October 7, 3:00 pm to 5:00pm – Books & Badges at the Pittsburg Public Library
- Saturday, October 8, 10:00 am to 2:00 pm – Community Tailgate at Pittsburg State University (tent location TBA)
- Sunday, October 9, 11:00 am to 1:00 pm – Bike Patrol Demonstration & Blessing of the Bicycles at Pritchett Pavilion
- Monday, October 10, 8:00 am to 11:00 am – Coffee with a Cop at Root Coffeehouse & Creperie
Joining us for these events will be members of the Pittsburg Ministerial Alliance. Area law enforcement agencies are invited to participate as well. We invite you to visit faithandblue.org to learn more about this initiative.
