Fourth Annual Public Safety Expo

The Louisiana State Police Superintendent, Colonel Mike Edmonson, believes that troopers should be a part of their communities, not apart from them. The mission of the Louisiana State Police is to ensure the safety and security of the people in the state through enforcement, education, and other essential public safety services.

Louisiana State Police Troop F has partnered with numerous other public safety agencies in an effort promote public safety and relations within our communities by hosting the “Fourth Annual Public Safety Expo” at the Monroe Civic Center on Saturday, July 9, 2011, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. This event is free to everyone and will be an opportunity for the public to meet and speak with the men and women who work to keep the public safe and secure in Northeast Louisiana. There will be informational booths, displays, and demonstrations from many different public safety agencies.

The expo will include seat belt safety (full-size roll-over demos), fire safety, bicycle safety, 911 system, boating safety, K-9 units, motorcycle units, mobile command units, boats, impaired driving demos (“Fatal Vision” goggles), bomb units, Taser demos, traffic enforcement, helicopters (police, medical, and a National Guard “Blackhawk”), EMS units, SWAT demos, free car seat checks, and other demonstrations from numerous agencies.

This event is made possible from numerous contributions, but special thanks to the City of Monroe and the Monroe Civic Center for providing an ideal (air-conditioned!) location for this event. The Louisiana Trooper’s Foundation, Target and Century Link Security Systems were instrumental in providing resources and funding so this event could be offered free to the public.

There will be giveaways, door prizes, and refreshments.

The media is cordially invited.
