NIH Celebrates National Police Week With Picnic on Patio
NIH's Division of Public Safety marked National Police Week on May 15 with exhibits, demonstrations and a shrimp fry on the patio of Bldg. 31A. Themed "The NIH Community and Police Working Together," the event gathered police officers, fire fighters and other emergency personnel from NIH as well as several other local and federal jurisdictions including the Maryland Department of the Environment's Hazmat Team, the Department of Agriculture and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Displays on security devices and auto safety by Geico insurance, tours of emergency response vehicles, and demos by NIH's bomb and drug canine teams highlighted the event. Sponsored by the NIH Federal Credit Union, the lunch raised $372 for the Friends of the Clinical Center.
