Keeping Parma Safe And Citizens Informed
Parma Ward 9 Councilman Robert Eurle speaks to residents who attended the combined Safety Meeting of Ward 3, 4, and 9.
Parma is one of the safest cities in Ohio, and that has been the result of a close relationship between the citizens of Parma and their safety and emergency departments. Every summer there are annual safety meetings in each of the 9 wards of the city. This year there was a slightly different approach with a combined safety meeting between wards 3, 4 and 9. Held in the parking lot of the new discount Drug Mart on State Rd., based on attendance, it was a very successful program. Residents can learn from observing functions presented to them by various officials from Police, Fire, Law Department, etc., who answer questions directly from those in attendance on a variety of topics which are important to people in our community. Seeing hands on demonstrations by various parts of our safety forces in a relaxed setting goes a long way towards the understanding of what is involved with these public service jobs and how they relate to everyday safety.
