The annual Law Enforcement Safety Day, which brings together representatives of local, state and federal agencies, will return for its fourth year from 3 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 20, at Southview Park.
The event also features the barbecue chicken dinner to benefit the BPD K-9 fund. The $5,000 in proceeds from last year’s event paid for a $3,000 surgery for the department’s dog Arco. Tickets are $8 each and are available at the police department’s dispatch window.
