WINTER HAVEN, FL. – Winter Haven Public Safety Director Charlie Bird is seeking residents of Winter Haven, who are over the age of 18, to participate in the Winter Haven Public Safety Leadership Council.
The dates for the council will be held every other Tuesday beginning in January until mid-May 2022.
The Council will consist of approximately 20 members who will serve voluntarily and meet every other Tuesday from 6 – 9 p.m. with Director Bird, Police Chief David Brannan, and agency members from both Police and Fire for a total of ten meetings. The Council will begin on January 18, 2022.
Participants will be asked to complete assignments and provide feedback on Department operations.
Members of the Council will experience hands-on activities over the course of the ten weeks while gaining a much better understanding of what it takes to operate Municipal Police and Fire Departments. Council members will participate in tours at the Polk County Jail book-in, Central County Jail and the Courthouse.
