The 28th Annual Orange County Cops N Kids was enjoyed by many Friday morning.
The fun took place at Claiborne West Park in Orange County.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office annually asks the public to join law enforcement and first responders for plenty of fun and games.
There were also plenty of hotdogs, chips, drinks and watermelons.
All refreshments and activities were free to the public.
Authorities hope events like this help bridge the gap between children and law enforcement by showing them everyone is here to help.
