The Delta Police Department is celebrating National Police Week with a special event.
May 11 to 15 marks National Police Week and Delta's men and women in blue are celebrating on Friday with a fun family event at Sungod Recreation Centre in North Delta.
"Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week the men and women of the Delta Police Department are working to keep our community safe, but many in our community will never meet them," said acting Chief Lyle Beaudoin. "I want to encourage everyone to come out to our Police Week event and meet some of our policing professionals and see the amazing work they do."
The event will includes demonstrations and photos with the K9 unit, while the Integrated Emergency Response Team will be on hand to show off some of their skills and equipment. The Delta Police Pipe Band will perform as well.
There will be raffles and prizes, an opportunity to meet Safety Bear, an appearance by Caber, the department's trauma K9, tours of police vehicles and the emergency command vehicle.
