New Police Substation to Open During L. B. Public Safety Fair
The Long Beach Public Safety Day Fair, which drew thousands of people last year, will be held Saturday as the city opens a new North Long Beach police substation.
The fair, scheduled for 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Scherer Park, 4800 Atlantic Ave., will stress good relations between citizens and public safety agencies, organizers said.
The 1,600-square-foot North Police Facility at Scherer will be opened simultaneously.
Helicopters, firefighting equipment, illegal weapons and seized drugs are to be displayed at the fair. A demonstration by the canine corps, a self-defense class and a program by the Long Beach Junior Concert Band are also scheduled. Children with bicycles may participate in a bike safety rodeo.
The fair will also stress Neighborhood Watch efforts, home security and bike licensing.
Information may be obtained by calling Dave Denevan at (213) 425-9910.
