Bring your family and friends to interact with more than 40 public safety agencies while exploring the tools of their trades at 2011 Creve Coeur Safety Fair. This free community event offers people of all ages a chance to participate in hands-on activities and enjoy a variety of food and soft drinks available for purchase from vendors.
Explore the ins and outs of police cars, fire trucks, boats, helicopters, mobile command centers, federal law enforcement equipment and DWI enforcement vehicles. Highlights this year will include an active burn house/fire fighting demonstration, police K-9 operational demos, child safety seat inspections, bike helmet fittings and child fingerprinting by the Secret Service. There will also be a simulated vehicle crash and rescue of a semi-truck and visits from police and medical helicopters.
The fair is sponsored by the Creve Coeur Police Department, Creve Coeur Fire Protection District, Barnes Jewish West County Hospital and the Creve Coeur Joint Crime Prevention Partnership.
