SOUTH KINGSTOWN â In an effort to build stronger community relations, the South Kingstown Police Department will be hosting a series of events to hopefully build-up positive ties with residents.Â
On Saturday, South Kingstown Police Chief Joel Ewing-Chow and a handful of passionate officers were busy handing out juice boxes and providing sidewalk chalk at Old Mountain Field to the communityâs youngest residents.Â
Operation Juice Box is just the kick-off event in a series of events already on the calendar for this summer.Â
âThe biggest thing we need to do is go out and meet with the community at things like this, that are non-law enforcement types of duties,â Ewing-Chow said. âWhat Iâm concerned about is every time someone sees a police officer, people tend to think, âWhat happened? Whatâs wrong? Something bad must be happening.ââ
