Our guide will be Bob Slater, the facility's director, who will walk us through how this cutting-edge facility supports the ongoing training of police, firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, and first responders from Edina, Bloomington, Eden Prairie, and the Metropolitan Airports Commission. Slater reports, “The South Metro Public Safety Training Facility is a critical part of training opportunities for the various police and fire departments of the greater southwest metro area and surrounding communities. Given its location and physical profile, it is often overlooked as a critical piece of the many public safety services the city of Edina is engaged in. This presentation seeks to introduce and inform Edina residents to the very serious and important work done at this facility to ensure a safer community.”
Don’t miss this chance to learn about the incredible work being done to keep our communities safe.
