This Sunday, June 5th, the Columbia Police Department will host a Neighborhood Barbeque for the North Strategic Plan Neighborhood. The event will be held from 2:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Auburn Hills Park located at 5101 Derby Ridge Road.

Officers from the Community Outreach Unit will be working the grill and serving up smiles to event-goers.
