Eustis will celebrate members of its police department on First Friday, May 3, from 6 to 9 p.m. for Law Enforcement Appreciation Month.Â
The evening will feature a variety of law enforcement vehicles, from police cars to the armored tactical vehicle used by the S.W.A.T. (Special Weapons and Tactics) team, K-9 officers and much more, with opportunities for families to interact with the officers. According to Events Coordinator Carl Saenger, there will even be a visit from a certain popular costumed canine!Â
