Stay cool this weekend — by meeting police officers
As the valley deals with temperatures that have already set records this summer, the North Las Vegas Police Department is offering people a way to stay cool and meet the folks behind the badge.
The police department is holding its first-ever Badge Splash Summer Bash on Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. at the Silver Mesa Pool on Allen Lane.
The bash will feature games, food, music and a HeyDude shoe giveaway.
Officials say the goal of the event — in addition to helping people stay cool — is to give North Las Vegas children a chance to interact with police officers in a friendly, relaxed way.
