One-Day Citizen’s Public Safety Workshop

Muskegon, MI –The City of Muskegon Public Safety Division is excited to host a one-day Citizen’s Public Safety Workshop on October 18, 2024. This hands-on program is designed for citizens age 18 and older to foster a deeper understanding of law enforcement functions and the vital role of public safety in our community.

Participants will engage in various activities aimed at dispelling misconceptions and promoting positive communication between citizens and police. Key topics include the use of force, de-escalation tactics, mental health awareness, the police drone unit, traffic stops, and fire extinguishing techniques.

“This workshop is an excellent opportunity for our community members to learn about the realities of public safety, engage with officers, and ask questions in a supportive environment,” said Tim Kozal, Director of Public Safety. “We aim to bridge the gap between our officers and the community we serve.”
