The picnic, originally set for 10 a.m.-1 p.m., will now be held from noon to 3 p.m. this Saturday at Viramontes Park, commonly known as Milo Park, at 500 East Second Street.
The picnic will include hot dogs, games for the kids, interaction with Deming Police officers and an appearance by McGruff, the Crime Dog.
Deming Police officers held a similar picnic last September at Elsie Vega Park.
Captain Bobby Orosco said their goal is to provide a positive experience for the neighborhood, a chance for people to meet officers in a capacity other than their official one of law enforcement, and to develop a working relationship with residents.
The picnic is being hosted by the Deming Police Department and is sponsored, in part, by Luna Energy Facility.
