The Easter egg hunt was hosted by Milwaukee Police District 7. 

Officers told CBS 58 the events help young people see what officers do

"It builds trust, it builds connection. It also builds memories. Coming out here and join with the police officers I think that's one step in making people love the police." said Tiara Sheets-Walker, community partnership unit with MPD. 

The Easter egg hunt went from 11 a.m. Sunday morning to 3 p.m.
