Volunteers of the C.O.P. program started working with the Cops and Kids Picnic, working anywhere we were needed. The Cops-N-Kids Picnic is held annually at various locations throughout Jefferson County. Co-sponsoring the event with the Beaumont Police Department are Pt. Arthur, Groves, Nederland and Pt. Neches Police Departments, and the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department. More than 7,000 people attend this annual event where free food and entertainment abound. More than 100 bicycles are given away as prizes. Volunteers from various neighborhood associations and the Tri-Agency Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association assist with the event.
