The Columbia Police Department is working with the city’s park rangers to increase patrols in parks after people reported seeing a suspicious man at the Stephens Lake Park spraygrounds on Saturday.
Police said several reports were made about a man who approached and talked to children in the area, making parents and children uncomfortable.
Police said the department, along with Columbia Parks and Recreation, encourages people who see any suspicious activity to report it by calling 311 for nonemergencies and 911 for emergencies.
