LOWER TOWNSHIP – Lower Township Police and their Police Chaplain Team invite you to join them at their National Faith & Blue events. The events offer an opportunity for community-officer engagement and are part of the nation’s largest annual collaborative policing initiative. Strong communities are built on mutual respect and understanding. Law enforcement and faith institutions are key pillars of each community, and when they work together, neighborhoods thrive.

National Faith & Blue Weekend (www.faithandblue.org) is a collaborative initiative that builds bridges and reduces biases by facilitating engagement between law enforcement professionals and the communities they serve.
Research has shown that non-enforcement engagement of officers and residents is transformative to safety and inclusion. Over a four-day weekend each year, Faith & Blue consists of thousands of locally organized events in all 50 states.
These activities include community forums, service projects and hundreds of other initiatives that bring the community together in the spirit of reconciliation. Faith & Blue organizers represent every major national law enforcement group and faith tradition in the United States.
The effort is co-convened by MovementForward, Inc’s One Congregation One Precinct (OneCOP) initiative, and the USDOJ Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office).
