Come Join Us for Safety Palooza on July 31

FRISCO, TX – We’re inviting everyone to join us for the City of Frisco’s
first-ever Safety Palooza to be held on Saturday, July 31, from 6 p.m. to
9 p.m. here at the Frisco Police Department. The party is a kickoff for
one of the biggest community celebrations of the year: National Night Out.
This year’s National Night Out happens the following Tuesday evening,
August 3.

Safety Palooza is a great opportunity to get to know the men and women of
Frisco’s police and fire departments. First responders will be on-hand
all evening to answer questions and show off many of their “tools of the
trade” used when emergencies happen. See the police department’s Motors
Unit demonstrate their competitive motorcycle skills, and peek inside a
CareFlite helicopter.

Do you have a safety plan for your family? Dispatchers with the Frisco
Police Department’s Communications Division will be providing useful
information to get you started. Kids can practice their 911 emergency
calls, and children’s fingerprint identification kits will be available at
no cost. Even McGruff the Crime Dog, Sparkie, and the Frisco Fire
Department Clowns will be part of the party.

Frisco’s Safety Palooza is free, but don’t forget to bring some cash for a
cool treat. Frisco’s own Snow Cone Lady will be selling her famous snow
cones to help beat the heat.

The Frisco Police Department is located at 7200 Stonebrook Parkway,
directly across the street from Frisco High School. For more information,
please contact the Community Services Division at 972.292.6145 or
