Kerstetter
A public safety fair Saturday will be part of the 25th anniversary of the Greater Cleveland Police Officers Memorial Society.
The society, which honors fallen police officers from around Northeast Ohio, will be adding the name of Elyria police Officer James Kerstetter to its memorial during a ceremony today. Kerstetter was shot and killed March 15 in Elyria while responding to a call.
The public safety fair will be 2 to 6:30 p.m. off of Lakeside Avenue in Cleveland next to the Cleveland Convention Center.
The event, which will be free and open to the public, will include participants from more than 55 law enforcement, emergency medical and other safety agencies from around Northeast Ohio, said the fair’s chairman, Gary Houlehan.
The U.S. Secret Service, for instance, will provide child identification kits, and the Ohio State University ROTC Pershing Rifle Team will also perform.
