Voicing her experience, Carolyn Bollozos of Grosse Pointe Farms said: “After our home was the target of an attempted break-in, I wanted to help turn our trauma into something positive for the community by organizing a Safety Night. I believe that gaining knowledge and awareness is a critical step in strengthening the safety of our homes and businesses.”
This is a free event and registration is not necessary.
