If you need a break from the Maple Leaf Garage Sale later today, you can get a free bite to eat along with entertainment at the annual Picnic at the North Precinct.

Once a year, each of the Seattle Police Department five precints invite the public to meet the police offers who serve their area and learn more about crime prevention.

Picnic at the North Precinct (and at the other precincts) is from 1-4 p.m. today at 10049 College Way N. (view all of the picnics on this map). Here’s what else you can expect, from the SPD:

In addition to talking shop with your neighborhood cops, you can watch local bands and performers, play around in a bouncy house, participate in a raffle for items donated by local businesses, meet the four-legged officers from the K-9 and mounted units, tour the precincts, and check out the cool gadgets used by special units like SWAT.

“The picnics are a good opportunity for people to get to meet the officers working in their community,” says East Precinct A/Sergeant Chris Kelley, who works in the Community Police Team, “It humanizes us and it is nice to interact with the community on a personal level, not solely as law enforcement.”

  1. Wish I’d known about this! Will mark it on my calendar for next year. Would absolutely love to learn more about “Officer Shepard” of the K-9 Unit. 😉 I have a lot of respect for their handlers.
