An Upstate Police Department has an upcoming event focused on community outreach. The Greer PD has announced their "Casting With A Cop" event will be next weekend. Corporal Austin Chambers is credited with the idea and he said " I wanted to create an opportunity for kids to be able to see me and other officers as people just like them.”
Casting With A Cop provides kids with the opportunity to fish with officers, it will be held next Saturday July 23rd from 8AM-Noon on Lake Robinson in Greer. Those that are older than 15 are required to have a fishing license to participate. The kids involved are encouraged to bring their own fishing gear, but the Police Department says it will have a limited supply on hand.
