The event, which the Department of Public Safety is calling “Pokémon with the police,” will be from 3 to 5 p.m. Monday at Shyrock Auditorium.

“This is an informal way to meet several SIU police officers,” according to a flyer the department tweeted this morning. “Feel free to play Pokémon GO with the police officers and/or other students.”
