Pflugerville To Stage Its First 'Public Safety Day'

PFLUGERVILLE, TEXAS — The Pflugerville Police Department will host its first annual Public Safety Day this coming Saturday.

The Sept. 29 event scheduled from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Pfield, 1440 W. Pecan St. will feature a bicycle rodeo event enabling children to enjoy learning about safe riding while racing against the clock through a series of challenging obstacles. Participants are encouraged to bring along their own helmets or secure a loaner at the event on a first come, first served basis.

The event offers safety instructions, riding instructions and displays by Central Texas Law Enforcement Agencies featuring the Pflugerville Police Department K-9 unit, crime scene, volunteers, motorcycles, and recruiting. There will be safe target shooting for children (NERF) and various food trucks.
