June 8th, 2008  - The South Bloomfield Division of Police attended the 3rd Annual "Cops N' Kids Day" festivities held in Groveport, Ohio. This has been a growing event and although it was a hot and humid day, many kids attended the events and got their parents to tag-a-long. Groveport Police hosted a "Safetyville" for children to bring their bikes and ride through while officers taught them of bike safety. Many providers donated gifts and bike equipment to be raffled off, including bikes, helmets, a grill, toys, and gift certificates. Many agencies attended and we were able to get many good photos of some of the agencies that attended. 

The South Bloomfield Police were able to win a First Place award for the cruiser competition and many kids and thier parents were able to see one of our cruisers and patrol bikes. We would like to thank the Village of Groveport and its police department for inviting us, we all had a great time. We look forward to attending this event again next year.  

September 09, 2007  - The South Bloomfield Division of Police attended the 9th Annual "Cops N' Kids Day" festivities held in Westerville, Ohio. This has been a growing event over the past several years bringing police and children together to pursue a positive relationship. Westerville Police has been instrumental in building this event, held on the 2nd Sunday of September each year, by collecting over $40,000 and having over 100 volunteers. Unfortunately this year they were unable to have helicopters from several agencies arrive due to the rainy weather, however that did not prevent several law enforcement agencies from showing up for the event.

South Bloomfield Officers displayed the "new look" of the department’s cruisers, in which several agencies and people were very impressed by the change.
