MARQUETTE, MI— Michigan State Police will converge at Northern Michigan University Thursday, but it’s for sport, not crime.
MSP “Troopers on Tour” will host the second annual Basketball Cop initiative. It’s 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 a way the MSP is working with local partners to break down barriers and foster lasting relationships around the state.
The event takes place from 1-4 p.m. in NMU Lot 57 near the Berry Events Center.
