(KAIR)--Atchison Police officers have Royals baseballs cards to give away all summer.

That word from the Boys and Girls Club of Atchison Director Sean Crittendon who announced a partnership between Atchison Police and the Boys and Girls Club.

“About a month ago, I got a hold of Chief Wilson and told him I'd been in contact with a representative from the Royals and they were bringing the baseball card giveaway back to communities,” he said. “As a kid, I was always excited when we would approach officers and they would have those cards available. Wilson said he remembered it and was welcoming of this partnership.”

Crittendon said this community initiative has a special purpose.

“Youth approach officers and they have cards available, to capture that moment—whether it be a selfie, some sort of picture with the card with members of the community,” Crittendon said. “Because we want to show our support for the law enforcement community of Atchison. That's what we want to base our campaign around, Atchison supports the Atchison Police Department. Of course, everyone loves the Royals so tying that all into one creates excitement.”

He's asking everyone who takes pictures with law enforcement to upload them to the Community Initiative album on the Boys and Girls Club of Atchison's Facebook page or text them directly to (913) 680-7563.

“When you approach law enforcement, thank them for the job that they do,” Crittendon said. “And capture the moment.”

Crittendon wants to remind the community not to approach officers who look busy

The baseball card giveaway will be going on in Atchison all summer or until cards run out.
