Community Basketball Event Bridges Police and Public
Michigan State Police are set to bring a lively community gathering to Berrien Springs on June 24, featuring a series of games and activities that blend law enforcement with local culture.
The centerpiece of the evening will be a basketball tournament where state troopers take to the court alongside residents, creating a unique opportunity for friendly competition and conversation.
Beyond basketball, the event will include cornhole, dancing and a variety of food options, ensuring that families and friends can enjoy a festive atmosphere together.
This marks the first time the Basketball Cop/Troopers on Tour series has been held in Southwest Michigan, expanding the program’s reach into a region known for its strong community ties.
Troopers from across the state will join local officers, and Michigan State Police recruiters will be on site to discuss career paths in law enforcement, answering questions from anyone interested in joining the force.
The free event runs from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., and all members of the public are invited to attend, meet the troopers and experience a night of sport and camaraderie.
