Deming Officer and School Resource officer Quezada addressed those in attendance Saturday afternoon.
DEMING – The City of Deming held a public safety block party in the 300 block of South Silver Street last Saturday.
There were displays from various law enforcement, as well as the city fire and ambulance.
City officials said that they hope to have similar events in the future. Public Safety Day was an important opportunity to recognize and celebrate the brave first responders who put their lives on the line daily to keep our communities safe. This educational and fun event featured various interactive activities for all ages. From “Detective for a Day” to fire safety awareness, there was something for everyone to enjoy.
The “Detective for a Day” activity allowed participants to experience what it feels like to be a detective by going through a pretend crime scene and analyzing evidence. Participants also explored a faux 911 dispatch center and learned more about public safety operations while understanding when and why we call 911.
Through these activities, children and adults alike can gain valuable knowledge about safety skills they can use in their everyday lives.
Other activities included fire safety awareness, car seat installation demonstrations, and local law enforcement officers' drug prevention and internet safety presentations. In addition, the event provided hot dogs and drinks.
Mayor Benny Jasso said, “We wanted the community to come out and have fun while learning about important public safety topics." "This was an excellent chance for families to get together and engage in interactive activities that will help them stay safe in day-to-day life."
It was a great weather day, and events were well attended. Deming Radio News was provided with a few photos of the event.
