Cops & Pops: Beating the Heat, Building the Bond

On July 2, 2025, the Pineville Police Department teamed up with Walmart Store #75 for a refreshing community initiative, Cops & Pops. Together, we distributed several hundred popsicles to kids and adults across Pineville, bringing smiles and relief during the summer heat.

But this initiative is about more than cold treats. Cops & Pops is part of our ongoing mission to engage with our citizens, build trust, and make a lasting difference in our community. We believe that real relationships are built outside of emergency calls, like on sidewalks, in parks, and with something as simple as a shared popsicle on a hot day.

We’re grateful to Walmart Store #75 for their partnership and to the citizens of Pineville for always welcoming us with open arms. Stay tuned for more community-based events as we continue to serve and connect in new and meaningful ways.
