The Evansville Police Department will be hosting their first “Life on The Beat” program on Wednesday, October 22.The program will be held at Fairlawn School from 6:00pm-8:00pm.
Life on The Beat will be an opportunity for residents to play an active role in reality based scenarios. However, they will be asked to play the role of the police officer. This will give people a different perspective on why police officers do the things they do.
The goal of the program is not to teach everyone how to be a police officer. The goal is to open the lines of communication between citizens and law enforcement. Following each scenario, there will be an open discussion. Those discussions will help dispel misconceptions and shed some light on our profession.
The program is open to the public and is free to attend. You do not need to pre-register. There is not an age limit to attend, but scenario participants must be at least 18 years of age or older.
