Kids were invited to sit inside the vehicles to learn how they work with some departments offering demonstrations. Officials hope that when children have these interactions, they will be less scared of them. “This is a fun family event. we have fire trucks, police cars, all kinds of things. Getting close to the police cars and the fire trucks. it shouldn’t be a scary thing,” said Albuquerque City Councilor Rene Grout.
The event also featured horses from the Albuquerque Police Department, a robot from the bomb squad, and a helicopter from New Mexico State Police.
