(From the City of Joplin)
Due to weather conditions, the location for today's Public Safety Training Tower event has been moved to Fire Station #1, 303 East 3rd Street.
Joplin City officials, Joplin Interim Fire Chief and members of the Joplin Fire and Police Departments invite the public and media to attend an informational session focusing on the Training Tower being erected as part of the Public Safety Training Center (PSTC). The session is set for 1:30 p.m., on Tuesday, January 6.
Originally planned as a groundbreaking ceremony, City officials have changed the event to be held indoors to allow all attending a warmer environment while learning more about the tower. There will not be a groundbreaking ceremony for this project, however the City does plan to have a ribbon-cutting and open house activity once the facility is completed.
The four-story training tower provides realistic training for both fire and police personnel, and is part of the first phase of a two-phase development for the Public Safety Training Center. Phase I also included the temporary Training Center located in the former airport terminal on Dennis Weaver Boulevard, which opened in fall 2013. With 5,000 square feet, the training center provides classrooms and office space for training personnel in both fire suppression and law enforcement fields.
More details about the Training Tower and its amenities will be provided at the event, and will be posted following the session. .
