S. Tahoe police working on community outreach

The South Lake Tahoe Police Department is making a concerted effort to better interact with the public outside of detaining individuals.

There will be an open house June 11 from 3-7pm at the department, 1352 Johnson Blvd. There will be a variety of police equipment and vehicles on-hand. The goal is to promote transparency and have the community meet with police officers and unsworn staff.

Coffee with a cop will be every Thursday this summer from 8-10am at the Starbucks in the Village Center. Sergeants and above will be engaging the public.
