MT. JULIET, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Mt. Juliet Police Department is hosting a free family-friendly event Saturday to engage with the community during Police Week.
Families can explore the inside of a police car and learn about officers' tools of the trade.
They'll also get to meet and greet the local officers who work to keep their community safe.
They want people to get to know their first responders and learn about their roles.
It's something that's important to many in the community, which is why Two Rivers Ford has teamed up to host the event.
The event will be from 9 until 11 a.m. at Two Rivers Ford on Saturday.
Bring your questions and your family to this unique opportunity to connect with Mt. Juliet's finest! If you attend the event, share your experience with me at eric.pointer@NewsChannel5.com.

This is a beautiful story of chosen family, proving a father figure doesn't have to have biology in common to make a difference in a child's life. The story of De'Andre and Alex will remind you that our relationships help determine the course of our lives. And that being supportive of someone - through a meal, a shared experience or even swim lessons can make all the difference.
