TRULY ENGAGING THE COMMUNITY:
THE PICNIC IN THE PRECINCT PROGRAM

To fulfill our mission, SPF is committed to facilitating positive community and police interactions as part of our Community Partnership program area. In 2004 SPF implemented the Picnic at the Precinct program. Picnic at the Precinct provides an opportunity for the business and residential communities in the precinct geographical boundaries to come together and enjoy a day of celebration with their local police. Local businesses financially support the event through donations to the SPF. Local community groups assist in the planning of the event.

The first Picnic at the Precinct was held in September 2004 at the East Precinct. Since then, the Picnic at the Precinct program has grown to include all five precincts. Thousands of Seattle residents enjoy food, music, clowns, and magic as well as an opportunity to learn about their local precincts and many of the Department's specialty units including K-9, mounted, bomb squad, and SWAT.
