Emergency services will come together in Brimbank later this month to enhance community involvement in crime prevention and improve perceptions of law enforcement.
The Emergency Services Community Day is set to take place on Saturday, April 21, at the Sunshine Marketplace.
The event promises a dynamic line-up of activities and interactions with various divisions within Victoria Police, including Uniform, Highway Patrol, Proactive Police Unit, Dog Squad, and more.
Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with officers and explore police vehicles such as the Mobile Police Unit and Highway Patrol BMW.
Keilor Downs Police Station Acting Senior Sergeant John Harris said in addition to Victoria Police, other emergency services such as Ambulance Victoria, Fire Rescue Victoria, SES, and RSPCA will be present to provide valuable insights and demonstrations.
The community will get a chance to jump in behind or on a bike to see what it looks like inside one of our vehicles. We can also offer expert advice and information to the community to increase community partnership and safety,” Acting Senior Sergeant Harris said
“We will also be lucky enough to have Mounted branch and Dog squad with their horses and K9’s on display and can be asked questions.”
The day’s agenda includes a CPR station hosted by Ambulance Victoria, aimed at empowering community members with life-saving skills.
Families, friends, and community members of all ages are invited to attend the Emergency Services Community Day. Acting Senior Sergeant Harris said individuals interested in pursuing a career in emergency services will find the event particularly informative.
The Emergency Services Community day will take place on April 21, from 10am-4pm at the Sunshine Market Place on the Western side carpark, Harvester Road, Sunshine.
