MARQUETTE, MI— The Michigan State Police is bringing a community basketball event to Marquette in July.
The Basketball Cop initiative is a statewide program that connects officers with young people where they live and play. Using basketball, music and food, the free, family-friendly events are one way the MSP is working with local partners to break down barriers and foster lasting relationships around the state.
The MSP “Troopers on Tour,” in partnership with local police departments, are heading to Marquette on Thursday, July 17 from 1 to 4 p.m. at Northern Michigan University.
Further details will be released as they become available.
