(La Vergne, Tenn.) The La Vergne Police Department is excited to host its inaugural ‘Cops and Bobbers’ fishing event on Saturday, April 23.

The bank fishing event will be held at the Hurricane Creek Boat Ramp and officers are providing everything kids need to learn how to fish, including hooks, bait, and fishing rods. Officers will be matched up with pre-registered kids from the community to teach them fishing basics like casting and baiting a line. This is a registration-only event and walk-ups are not encouraged.
