This summer, to open avenues for connection within the community, the Sioux Falls Police Department is opening a hydrant or two.
And they're also meeting community members at coffee shops, donut shops and in their neighborhoods.
The department has a full roster of summer events. Sioux Falls Police Chief Jon Thum and Assistant Chief Nick Cook share a sneak peek of what's happening in Sioux Falls neighborhoods in the coming months.
We also talk about safety and creating positive experiences for all community members.
