Brick Sale to Raise Funds for Police and Fire Center

Training Tomorrow’s Heroes

They are our police, firefighters, EMT’s and K-9’s who serve and protect our communities. They need superior state-of-the-art emergency training.

This is why the City of Kalamazoo is leading a coalition of area governmental agencies, corporations, educational and medical institutions in the development of a Kalamazoo Regional Police and Fire Training Campus (K.R.T.C).

Located at 911 Training Center Boulevard and situated on 22 acres, the facility will include the following components:

First Phase:
Live Fire Training Tower
Ice/Water Rescue Pond
Tanker Fire Training
Care Fire Training
Modular Classroom
Indoor Training Building
Police, Fire and K-9 Agility Course

Second Phase:
Driving Track (used for police, fire, medical and school/Metro bus training)

Third Phase:
Indoor Fire Arms Range

This endeavor requires time, effort, dedication and monies to make this facility a viable reality.

Buy A Brick to Further the Cause

Since September 11, the need for advanced emergency preparedness training and advance law enforcement training has greatly increased. It is imperative that there is a training camput in Southwest Michigan that can provide for this type of advanced training. Currently there is no such facility. The time is now to fill this gap.

The City of Kalamazoo invites you to be a part of a very special commemorative opportunity. Buy a brick for yourself, in honor of a loved one, your company or client, even a beloved pet, and become permanently associated with this Training Campus.

The brick, with your name or message, will be used to create a pathway of honor at the Kalamazoo Regional Police and Fire Training Campus. The brick tribute is a great way to support not only your area police, fire, and medical personnel, but also to honor emergency responders here in our own communities.

Your purchase of a brick will help pave the way for state-of-the-art emergency training.  You will be a hero to the men and women who complete training at the Kalamazoo regional Police and Fire Training Campus and the communities they will ultimately serve.

Sorry, no logos or special graphics available.

Your purcase of a brick(s) will be tax deductible to the extent allowable by law.
