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

Whatâs wrong? Something bad must be happening.ââ
