The 6th Annual Safe Summer Tipoff Youth Safety Festival & Basketball event hosted by the Los Angeles Police and Fire Departments will be held Saturday, May 2, from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Galen Center. There will be a free barbecue lunch along with a Youth Safety Festival on Figueroa that includes displays and demonstrations, but the day's activities conclude with the highly-anticipated basketball game between the LAPD and the LAFD at 1:00 p.m.
This event is intended to promote youth safety and bring the community together as we head into summer. Last year, the police department saw an impact on public safety in the community from the event, and they hope this year to continue raising awareness with more than 5,000 kids and their families expected to attend.
