“Our goal is to build trust and understanding between residents and law enforcement, creating a safer and more unified Bozeman. We want everyone to feel welcome, engaged, and informed about the resources available to them,” Sanders stated in the press release.
The event will feature a variety of activities for all ages, including live demonstrations, equipment tours and face painting. More than a dozen agencies will be in attendance, with everything from fire engines to helicopters on display.
