Community Members Meet Police At ‘Day Of Respect’ Festival In N. Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – There’s a festival in north Philadelphia at Broad and Eerie where folks can interact with their local police in a way that’s fun.
The Day of Respect is a festival on Eerie Avenue, the goal of which is to build relationships between community members and police officers.
Organizer JP Miranda says it’s the 4th year the event has been going on: “It impacts the community due to the fact that it creates relationships. Even if we’re able to just get kids to be cordial to police officers, it helps because it gets rid of that stigma.”
