🍦🚔 OPERATION COOL DOWN: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! 🚔🍦

WOW, Edgewater — you showed up! Today was an incredible success, and seeing so many smiling faces made every scoop worth it.

Thank you to everyone who came out, said hello, shared some laughs, and enjoyed a little ice cream with us. This is what community is all about. ❤️

Have a safe and happy rest of your weekend!

And remember: EPD accepts full responsibility for the ice cream… but absolutely no responsibility for any resulting cavities. 😂🦷🍦

Until next time 🤘🏻

Come be cool with us.

UPDATE 🥵

It is slightly cooler outside today.

Still ridiculous, but slightly cooler.

Therefore, criminal activity may resume.

However, please do NOT run from us. It is still far too hot for that.

If you absolutely insist on fleeing, please hide somewhere indoors. Preferably somewhere with air conditioning.

Thank you for your continued cooperation during this heated time.

It is way too hot outside.

Please do NOT commit crime.

If you have criminal activity planned for today, please reschedule.

We appreciate your cooperation during this difficult time.

☀️ Florida called. It wants its heat back. 🥵

Until then, EPD has the ice cream covered. 🍦🚔

Join us Saturday, August 22 from 1–3 PM for Operation Cool Down: Ice Cream Patrol!

Kids + FREE ice cream + police cars = a pretty sweet Saturday. 😎🍦

🍦🚓 OPERATION COOL DOWN: EPD ICE CREAM PATROL 🚓🍦

The first few days of school are officially in the books, and we think the kids deserve a little something to celebrate getting back into the routine.

So on Saturday, August 22, from 1:00–3:00 p.m., EPD is rolling out something a little different.

We’re turning the SWAT truck into an ice cream truck and bringing free frozen treats to kids at three stops around the city.

🍦 Rotary Park
🍦 Menard-May Park
🍦 Whistle Stop Park

We’ll have Bomb Pops, Drumsticks, popsicles, ice cream treats, and more available while supplies last.

This is simply about giving our students a fun reward after heading back to school, giving families something to look forward to, and spending some positive time together in the community.

Parents, save the flyer and plan to stop by with the kids.

Kids, all you have to do is show up hungry. We’ll take care of the rest. 😎🍦

📅 Saturday, August 22
⏰ 1:00–3:00 p.m.
📍 Three stops throughout Edgewater
🍦 Free for kids while supplies last

Times listed on the flyer are approximate and the event is weather permitting.

We’ll see you on the Ice Cream Patrol.

📚 WELCOME BACK, STUDENTS & TEACHERS! ✏️

Tomorrow marks the beginning of a brand-new school year, and EPD would like to wish all of our students, teachers, administrators, and school staff an amazing first day back!

Whether you’re walking into a classroom for the very first time, starting your senior year, or returning to do what you love as an educator, we hope this year brings new friendships, big accomplishments, plenty of laughter, and memories that last a lifetime.

As everyone settles back into their routines, please give yourself a little extra time in the morning, slow down in our school zones, watch for students walking and biking, and be patient with the extra traffic. Our officers will be out helping make sure everyone gets where they’re going safely.

To our students: work hard, be kind, look out for one another, and make this year count.

To our teachers and school staff: thank you for the time, patience, and heart you pour into our kids and our community.

Have a safe and wonderful first day, Edgewater! Here’s to an incredible school year! 💙📚

Respectful Service. Relentless Justice.
