Southaven Police Department said on Facebook that officers served as judges for Medline’s “Best Mac & Cheese” contest during a lunchtime event and that a winner was declared.
The Southaven Police Department is the municipal law enforcement agency for Southaven, Mississippi. Medline, a medical supply company, posted the contest notice and thanked participants for their hospitality, according to the department’s social media post.
Police participation in workplace and community events is a common part of community policing strategies intended to build relationships, increase trust and provide informal opportunities for engagement between officers and local organizations. Departments often take part in public events, charity drives and local celebrations to maintain visibility and strengthen community ties.
The Southaven Police Department said it appreciates opportunities for community engagement and congratulated the contest winner. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
