Recently, the Kansas City, Kan., Police Department held a meet-and-greet session at the Trinity Community Church, 5010 Parallel Parkway, Kansas City, Kan.

This event was designed for the public to meet local police officers.

By having these meet-and-greet sessions, this allows the public to interact with the Police Department.

The hoped-for result is that the public will feel more comfortable with the Police Department, and that the Police Department may have extra eyes in the community, leading to a crime reduction.
