On Saturday, January 9 the Ventura Police Department, Ventura Police Community Foundation and McConnell’s Ice Cream invited the community to come “Chill with VPD”. The community event was held in the south west parking lot of the Pacific View Mall nearest to McConnell’s. Community members had the opportunity to view a K9 demonstration, SWAT, Motors, Patrol and more. Children attending were given a “VPD Passport” and after they filled their passport with stamps from VPD Officers they submitted the passport for a free ice cream. Community members got to know their Ventura Police Department and the officers.
