Alexandria - Aug. 5, 2011 - SD&G OPP Cst Mark Evans took some time to partake in a photo opportunity with his new friends who wanted to experience wearing parts of the police uniform. It was all part of a Teddy Bear Picnic held at Island Park in Alexandria, Ontario.

Evans, the Community Services Officer fingerprinted approximately 75 of the approximate 120 children who attended as part of their take home identification kits issued by the OPP. Discussions about summer safety and dangers of talking to strangers were key messages of the day.
