It will be scaled down from previous years because of COVID but is still a great chance for the community to interact with officers from Park Station as well as dignitaries like Senator Wiener, Mayor Breed, Supervisor Mandelman, and police command staff. There will be information tables and activities for kids. More info to follow.
