“Spirit of Safety Day”

A FREE day of fun for all ages!

May 15, 2010
9AM – 3PM
Joint Safety Services Building
5171 / 5181 Northwest Parkway

Everyone is welcome to the first annual “Spirit of Safety Day” to be held on Saturday, May 15, 2010 from 9AM – 3PM at the new Joint Safety Services Building by the Franklin County Fairground.

This fun filled day for all ages is a collaborative effort by the Hilliard Police Department and the Norwich Township Fire Department to provide education on important safety issues as well as showcase services available to the Hilliard Community. We feel it is important to let our friends and families know we care about their safety and welfare!

The Norwich Township Fire Department will be featuring awesome events such as Rope Repelling and Vehicle Extrication to allow our residents to see first hand the life saving expertise our fire fighters have. In addition, they are providing important health services such as blood pressure checks, glaucoma screening, and glucose checks. By hosting a wide variety of agencies such as Mount Carmel, Alzheimer’s, American Red Cross, and much more, residents will be able to find where they can turn to for health and safety issues.

The Hilliard Division of Police will feature the Firearms Training Simulator which will allow adults to experience some police training first hand. The K-9 unit will be have demonstrations; the Detective Bureau will provide interesting information to show how to harden our community against criminals, and the “A.I.” team will let you see into the world of accident investigations. Homeland Security, Franklin County Children’s Services and many other agencies will be on hand to provide valuable information.

Let the children experience…
How to put out a fire first hand;
Learn how to dial 911 with a real police/fire dispatcher;
See what happens to an egg when he doesn’t wear his seatbelt;
Learn what to do in case of a fire in the safety house;
Ride a bicycle safely at the bicycle rodeo and have their bicycle helmets adjusted;
Talk to McGruff the crime dog;
Have some popcorn and watch a movie; and so much more.

If that isn’t enough, have a bite to eat, take a station tour, see the Med Flight helicopter and don’t forget to dispose of unwanted medications properly at the D.U.M.P. location. Safety can be fun – enjoy a day with your safety services family!
