Since the very beginning of the idea of creating a way for Evansville Police officers to be able to connect with kids in our community, WKDQ has been there cheering them on.
Cops Connecting with Kids goes way beyond what kids see in our news or the violence they see happening in our streets and bring our community closer while bridging the gaps of misunderstanding and misinformation.
Throughout the year, events are planned to encourage kids, in our community, through positive interaction. One of those events is an all-expense-paid trip to Disney World. The money that is made from fundraisers throughout the year pays for the trip. Middle school students are chosen by their schools to have this once-in-a-lifetime experience. The students chosen are selected by criteria that involve, citizenship, kindness leadership.
