Public safety expo hosted by the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office & MPACT
Local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies held a public safety expo in Montgomery today.
The event gave people the opportunity to interact with local officers and learn more about potential career opportunities. Multiple law enforcement organizations attended the event at MPACT.
Among those included were ALEA, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s office, the Montgomery Police Department, and the FBI, along with others.
The expo was a great way to inform young people about the available career paths in public safety
“What do you need to prepare for? How do you get your body in good physical condition? So, that’s why we’re out here. We want to make sure our kids are getting the correct answers, so they can start building their profiles right now. When I say building a profile, you’re building your resume,” said Sheriff Derrick Cunningham, Montgomery County.
“If you’re interested, or even if you’re not interested, anybody can come and possibly receive a job. I think that it’s good that us young teenagers come out and see what information that could possibly influence us to become apart of one of these organizations,” said expo attendee, Morgan Williams.
“I want to major in forensic science, so I’m very interested in crime scenes and investigations. I want to do blood splatter, so that brings me out here, and in the police field, I want to be a police cadet. That also is what interested me,” said A’aliyah Watkins, expo attendee.
The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office partnered with the Montgomery Preparatory Academy For Career Technologies to put on the event.
