Beyond the warm gear, attendees spent time with JPD officers. Members of the command staff participated as well. This helps build trust and connection with Jackson youth and the officers.
The evening also included hot dogs, chips, and popcorn for families and volunteers.
Organizers said the event is part of an ongoing effort to support Jackson families during the colder months while strengthening relationships between law enforcement and the community.
