Kutztown Police Invite Neighbors for Train‑Themed Day

The Kutztown Police Department is throwing a free, family‑friendly gathering on Saturday, March 7 from 10 a. m. to 1 p. m. at the town’s train station, whether it rains or shines. The event, called Cops and Cabooses, is the second year of a program that lets residents meet officers in a relaxed setting while celebrating the town’s railroad history. No sign‑up is needed, and trains will leave as usual during the event.The idea behind the day is simple: build trust between police and locals by giving people a chance to chat with officers away from the usual work routine. Officers will display their cars and gear, and kids can play with train‑themed games. The goal is to strengthen community ties and show that the department cares about everyday life, not just emergencies. Families are welcome to bring their children and enjoy activities together. By meeting officers in a friendly environment, residents can ask questions and share concerns without feeling pressured. The police hope this open dialogue will lead to lasting, positive relationships for people of all ages. Anyone interested in more details can call Sergeant Walter J. Skavinsky at 610‑683‑3545.
