MILWAUKEE, Wis. (WRN) — The Milwaukee Brewers are teaming up with law enforcement agencies across the state to distribute limited-edition baseball cards to kids.
Senior Vice President of Communications Tyler Barnes says it’s an opportunity for kids to build trust with law enforcement.
“To know that law enforcement is an advocate for them and an advocate for the community and not something that they should fear, and this is just an opportunity for law enforcement to engage with kids,” Barnes said.
Thirty departments will each get one thousand packs of the cards, including the Chippewa County Sheriff’s Office and Eau Claire Police Department. Barnes says the team has distributed cards like this off and on going back to the 1980s.
