Today, Congressman David Scott toured the Fulton County Public Safety Training Center and Wolf Creek complex with Fulton County Vice Chairman William “Bill” Edwards.
The visit focused on the increasing importance of the role that local public safety resources play in providing homeland security. Congressman Scott took a first hand look at the resources available for training law enforcement and fire personnel at the facility. He also had a chance to engage local law enforcement and fire personnel to hear their concerns and vision for the facility. “It is so important that we equip our local law enforcement and fire personnel with the tools and training necessary to always be ready to protect and serve our citizens,” said Congressman Scott. “The staff at the Fulton County Public Training Center is doing a phenomenal job of preparing local public safety personnel and I will be working closely with them to identify additional resources that can assist and enable the facility to continue to provide top of the line training.” The Public Safety Training Center, located at 3025 Merk Road, off Camp Creek Parkway, was the site of the 1996 Olympic shooting competition. The site has become a multi-use facility for Fulton County services, including the future of Wolf Creek Amphitheater, currently under construction. ### |
