The popular monthly event is hosted by the Apopka Police Department, McDonald's, and the North Orange Branch Library. Cookies and Milk with a Cop is an initiative started by Officer Andrew Raphael of the Winter Garden Police Department. The goal is to bring kids and Cops together in a fun, non-traditional environment that builds trust and makes friends.
The event is on the third Saturday of every month. The event usually lasts 1–2 hours, depending on the stories and crafts.
The APD provides a police officer for reading to the children. McDonald's provides cookies and milk. The Apopka Library provides a comfortable setting for the event.
The event is free. The North Orange Branch Library is located at 1211 E Semoran Boulevard in Apopka. After storytime, the children will be able to participate in arts and crafts provided by the library.
"This is a valuable event for our agency in order to connect better with our citizens," said Officer Jason Wiggins. "The children and parents enjoy the interaction and it provides a great opportunity for them to ask questions about our profession."
Reservations are NOT necessary.
