This week, Strawberry Square will host the annual Public Safety Day so area residents can meet public safety professionals, discuss what’s involved in protecting the public, and learn about educational opportunities in public safety fields.

“We’re excited to bring all of these safety professionals to Strawberry Square to share their knowledge and expertise,” said Brad Jones, president and CEO of Harristown Enterprises, the owner of Strawberry Square.

A variety of law enforcement, fire, rescue, emergency and incident management teams will be on hand in the atrium to share information on the services they provide. In addition, information regarding educational opportunities will be available for attendees interested in pursuing a career or classes in public safety fields.

Upstairs, the Central PA Blood Bank will host a blood drive from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the former FitnessU space on the second floor of Strawberry Square.

“The Harrisburg Bureau of Fire is always happy to partner with Strawberry Square to provide impactful fire and life safety discussions with our community partners,” said bureau Chief Brian Enterline. “The Public Safety Day is ‘bringing the fire station to the Square,’ and will provide for an interactive environment to reach a significant number of residents of Harrisburg and the region.”
