The annual First Responders Open House will be held at the Sun Lakes Sheriff’s Posse office located at 9531 E. Riggs Road in Sun Lakes on Saturday, Jan. 27, from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m.

The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) specialty units, along with AZ Fire and Medical, will be there for a great outdoor family-fun, informational event. Free hot dogs will be provided by the business partners of Arizona’s Heroes Home Team.

The MCSO Search and Rescue team will be there, along with their helicopter. The Lakes Division will bring one of their patrol horses, and the K-9 division will be on hand to demonstrate how they work alongside the bomb squad and the SWAT team on a call. The large MCSO Command Van will be on hand as well. You will be able to climb into it and see all the technology.

AZ Fire and Medical will have fire trucks and ambulances there, along with public information members present to assist with individuals climbing in and out of the trucks plus showing off the special equipment they use every day to save lives.

Our Sun Lakes Posse Medical Equipment crew, along with all the members from both the community Posse and the MCSO Sheriff’s Posse, will be on scene for the event to show our community the patrol units and the facility we use to serve the Sun Lakes community seven days a week.

We could not hold this event without help from the Sheriff’s office and the Arizona Heroes Home Team sponsors: Amy Nelson (Keller Williams Realty), Lisa Estes (VIP Mortgage), Romy Watts (Magnus Title), Vicki Paez (Edward Jones), and Craig Lloyd (American Family Insurance) for providing and cooking the free hot dogs at our event.

See you there!
