Jacksonville, NC – The Jacksonville Police Department is excited to announce the launch of its innovative new community outreach program, “Running with the Law.” This initiative, scheduled to officially begin on July 30, 2025, at 1:06 PM, aims to strengthen the bond between law enforcement and the residents of Jacksonville through shared physical activity and open dialogue.
“Running with the Law” invites citizens of all ages and fitness levels to join officers for casual runs and walks throughout various neighborhoods. The program is designed to create a relaxed and accessible environment where community members can interact with police officers outside of their official duties. The primary goal is to foster greater understanding, build trust, and encourage a healthier, more connected community.
Participants will have the opportunity to engage in informal conversations with officers, ask questions, and gain insights into the daily work and community-focused efforts of the Jacksonville Police Department. This personal interaction is a key component of the program, allowing for genuine connection and the breaking down of perceived barriers.
The initiative underscores the department’s commitment to proactive community policing and its belief in the power of positive relationships. By engaging in a shared activity like running or walking, both officers and residents can benefit from improved physical well-being while simultaneously strengthening the fabric of their community.
Further details regarding specific running routes, meeting points, and scheduling for “Running with the Law” will be made available soon. The Jacksonville Police Department encourages all interested residents to participate and looks forward to a positive and engaging experience. This program represents a significant step forward in building a more collaborative and supportive environment for everyone in Jacksonville.
