“This event is a way to say thank you to the community on behalf of the officers because of the amazing support they receive at the school from the students and the parents. It’s also a way to bring together the community first responders in a fun environment where our students can meet others in the community who help to keep them safe,” said Joe Kozarian, chief of police and school safety and security officer for the school district.
