Pittsfield PD's 'Operation Copsicle' inspires San Antonio Police ice cream truck, uniting community through popsicles and prayer
PITTSFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – What started as a sweet summertime tradition in Pittsfield to connect police officers with the community has now inspired a similar initiative nearly 2,000 miles away in San Antonio, Texas. Operation Copsicle delivers smiles, free treats in Pittsfield San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) recently launched its ice cream truck initiative, Police, Popsicles, and Prayer, aimed at fostering trust, dialogue, and inclusion in neighborhoods across the city. The effort takes its cues from Operation Copsicle, a Pittsfield Police Department program that has gained national recognition for using frozen treats to engage with local youth and families. The connection between the two departments came about last year when SAPD Community Officer Greene met Pittsfield Officer Derby at a Community Policing Conference. There, Officer Greene learned about Operation Copsicle and brought the concept back to Texas. Working in partnership with Unite SA Network, a local faith-based organization, SAPD officially rolled out its ice cream truck program earlier this year. A photo shared by Pittsfield Police shows SAPD officers standing with residents–including Pittsfield locals Kayla and Catie, who coincidentally encountered the truck while visiting San Antonio a few months ago. 'This is now the fifth police department in the U.S. and Canada to implement their version of a police ice cream truck after connecting with us,' Pittsfield Police said in a social media post. From Massachusetts to Texas, the mission remains the same: building community trust, one popsicle at a time. WWLP-22News, an NBC affiliate, began broadcasting in March 1953 to provide local news, network, syndicated, and local programming to western Massachusetts.

Suspect arrested for allegedly beating 61-year-old transgender woman in Westlake District
Los Angeles police arrested a 30-year-old man accused of assaulting a 61-year-old transgender businesswoman in the Westlake District. Detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department arrested Samuel Parros on May 27 and booked him for assault with a deadly weapon. He is one of three people who allegedly attacked Sabrina De La Pena at her shop several times in the past two months. "They punched me. They kicked me. I tried to go outside, they pushed me inside," De La Pena said in an interview with CBS News Los Angeles. "I received more than 50 punches. After that, I started screaming, and when nobody was coming, I said OK and asked God why?" The series of attacks began on April 8, when one of Parros's alleged accomplices tried to flirt with De La Pena, according to police. Detectives said the unnamed male suspect left the store after she denied his advances. He allegedly returned shortly later, sexually assaulted De La Pena and threatened to kill her when he discovered she was a transgender woman, according to LAPD. LAPD officers released four pictures of one of the suspects accused of beating a transgender woman on multiple occasions. KCAL News Detectives said he returned multiple times with more suspects and continued to beat her. In three separate instances, the group of men allegedly beat De La Pena with a skateboard, pepper-sprayed her and threw an unknown liquid on her while another suspect tried to taser her, according to police. De La Pena said she has been attacked six times since April. She has owned two shops in the Westlake District for 40 years and has never had a problem until now. "I need to move from this area because, I can't no more," De La Pena said. The latest beating happened on May 31, according to police. LAPD said De La Pena sustained serious injuries. Parros was already in custody during the alleged beating. Police are searching for the two remaining suspects. Police arrested Suspect 2, Samuel Parros, on May 27 but have not located Suspect 3.
