Public Safety - All

Public safety careers are the stars of the show at the third annual Touch-a-Truck! The event returns to St. Petersburg College Allstate Campus on Saturday, April 22 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. This free family-friendly event is a perfect introduction to the Public Safety family on campus.

Real Vehicles, Real Heroes, Real Fun

Touch-a-Truck gives kids and kids at heart a chance to interact with vehicles from police, fire, and community organizations from around Tampa Bay. There will be music, food, and lots of fun activities for the whole family! Climb through a police cruiser, stand on deck in a Coast Guard patrol craft, and have a look through the Bayflite air ambulance! This is way more fun than playing with toy trucks in the sandbox. Learn first-hand about the real life adventures of firefighters, law enforcement, and others who serve our community as they provide a tour of their vehicles.

If you would like to bring a vehicle or volunteer for this event, please complete the survey.
