They brought with them a fire truck and a police car to show members of the “COPS” class some of the aspects of police and fire safety.
Students had an opportunity to look “up-close-and-personal” at some of the equipment used by the CPD and CFD.
This exhibition gave students a better idea of what both agencies do to help protect the citizens of Chester.
The “up-close-and-personal” visit also helped to establish positive relationships with local police and firefighters.
