CRESTVIEW — Crestview Police Department hosted the Crestview Area Chamber of Commerce’s monthly Business After Hours Event May 9 at the George Whitehurst Municipal Building.
The event doubled as an open house for members of the public to stop by and learn more about the department.
Officers from various divisions set up displays in the Warrior’s Hall auditorium, which included SWAT equipment, criminal investigation tools and information on programs like community services and the citizens’ police academy.
The department also gave K-9 demonstrations, flew a police drone above the event and gave rides in the department’s armored, mine-resistant, ambush-protected (MRAP) vehicle.
