	Residents invited to police open day BLACKPOOL and the Fylde Police are set to hold a large community open day to give local residents an insight into their work. The open day will take place between 11am and 4pm on Sunday 25 July at St John’s Square in Blackpool town centre. Chief Insp Andrea Barrow said: “We would encourage as many people as possible to come along to this event. “There will be the opportunity to meet local police officers, gain an insight into the range of departments within the police and find out more about the work that they do. “It is going to be a fun day and there will be lots of stalls and activities for people of all ages to get involved in.” There will be police horses and dogs at the event as well as a police vehicle display, an interactive crime scene investigation (CSI) tent and performances from local community groups. There will also be displays from various departments within the police and other agencies, including the fire and ambulance service. Comedian Frank Carson will be giving support to the event and will be attending to draw the raffle. The day will be compered by Radio Wave news reader Andy Mitchell. The event is free to attend and any monies raised through the stalls will be donated to Trinity and Brian House Children’s Hospice. Chief Supt Richard Debicki, Divisional Commander for the Western Division of Lancashire Constabulary, chose Trinity and Brian House Children’s Hospice, which provides specialist palliative care for adults and children who have life limiting illnesses, as his charity of the year for 2010. The police will be taking part in a variety of different fundraising activities and organising various events in aid of the charity throughout the year.
