INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department is teaming up with the city and other local organizations to bring critical cservices and resources to residents living on the far east side Friday.
IMPD, the Department of Business and Neighborhood Services and the Office of Public Health and safety are hosting a resource fair at the Warren Branch of the Indianapolis Public Library from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
At the same time, outreach teams will be canvassing the area near 21st Street and Mitthoeffer talking with residents and offering them information about the resources that are available to them.
By providing some of these critical resources to people living on the city's far east side, IMPD and the city of Indianapolis hope to help enhance the quality of life for those living in the area.
