City of Flint residents looking for answers about their stolen purse or wallet, home break-in, lawn or vehicle damage might get a telephone call from Tracy Austin, a Flint Blue Badge volunteer, who works on the second floor of the Flint Police Department several days per week. There, she assists Sergeant Tanya Meeks, Blue Badge Volunteer Corps Coordinator. “Today, I have to call 40 residents who filed a complaint or reported a crime,” says Tracy, who wears a polo-style shirt with the Blue Badge shield embroidered on it.
On Saturday, September 26 from 11am to 3pm, families met up at Flint’s White Building parking lot to get a fun and informative front-row seat with about 40 different types of safety vehicles. Some of the vehicles included ambulances, a helicopter, police vehicles, and semi-trucks. This 4th annual, free event is designed to build relationships between the police, students, and the Flint community, but it is also a truck-load of fun for children and their families! Those who attended were able to sit in the driver’s seat of safety vehicles and see how they work, in hopes of showing law enforcement and other emergency workers in a positive light.
