Cops and Cones returns to build connections

Building trust and respect are at the heart of the Bloomington Police Department’s mission.

Cops and Cones helps break down barriers, strengthen relationships and increase trust and respect by bringing police officers and community members together over a favorite summer treat: ice cream! A free scoop of ice cream is offered for kids up to 18 years old.

Cops and Cones is held Tuesdays, June 4, July 16 and August 20, 1 – 2:30 p.m., at Scoops Ice Cream, 7700 W. Old Shakopee Road. Everyone is invited to stop by for yard games, a carnival game, a squad car tour and more. Cops and Cones provides opportunities to open lines of communication, address relevant community issues and foster positive relationships. Get all the details at blm.mn/copsandcones.
