The picnic, set for Saturday, April 12th at Milo Park from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., 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, 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.
