Yesterday, the West Orange Police Department Community Affairs team gave the West Orange community an amazing opportunity to come together for theirBack-to-School Event!🎒📚❤️

It was beautiful to see the community rally together and, most importantly, to see all those happy little faces getting ready for another school year! 🥰

From the horses 🐴 and fire trucks 🚒to all of the amazing vendors and community partners, everyone showed up and gave their very best!

This is what community is all about—**coming together, supporting our children, creating memories, and making a difference.

A HUGE KUDOS to WOPD Community Affairs!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
YOU GUYS ROCK!💙💙💙

What a great day in West Orange! In partnership with the West Orange Pride Coalition and so many incredible community partners, we created an opportunity for people to come together, celebrate, connect, and embrace the beauty of diversity and inclusion.
Thank you to everyone who showed up, volunteered, prepared to stride with pride, and support this event. Your presence helped make the day meaningful and reminded us that community is strongest when everyone feels seen, valued, and welcomed.

Here's to continuing the work of building a more inclusive West Orangetogether and beyond ❤️🏳️‍🌈
