Peachtree City's

newest public safety buildings will be on display for the public Sunday,

July 22 from 2-4 p.m.

The public

is invited to visit the new police headquarters at 350 Hwy. 74 South and

the new Leach Fire Station at 110 Paschall Road.

The police

station features a security system including an extensive bank of video

cameras and an electronic entry system. It also has a secure, gated parking

lot in the rear for police vehicles and a computer system that monitors

officers as they come and go.

The new fire

station features a training room equipped with a computer-synchronized

audio visual system. That room also doubles as the city's emergency operations

center, with a bank of phones and computer lines at the ready should the

need arise, said Fire Chief Stony Lohr.

The crew quarters

includes cubicled beds giving personnel some extra privacy, Lohr noted.

The station also has much more storage space, including a separate room

to keep firehoses and a room to launder turnout gear so it lasts longer,

Lohr noted.

Also included

is a small library area where reference materials can be stored.
