LEAF Day set for Sept. 16

Twenty law enforcement and regulatory agencies will be on hand during the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford’s 27th Annual LEAF (Law Enforcement Awareness and Familiarization) Day on Wednesday, Sept. 16.

The free program will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Mukaiyama University Room of the Frame-Westerberg Commons. Police vehicles will also be on display outside the Commons.

Started in 1981 by then-Pitt-Bradford police chief George Barron, LEAF Day gives students, faculty, staff and the public the chance to learn more about these agencies through face-to-face contact, said Dan Songer, director of campus police and safety.

“It also offers an opportunity to learn the requirements for a potential career with any of these agencies,” he said.

Among the agencies attending are the Pennsylvania State Police, U.S. Forest Service, Pennsylvania State Police Bureau of Liquor Enforcement, Pitt-Bradford Criminal Justice Program, Pitt-Bradford Anthropology Program, McKean County Adult Probation, Pennsylvania Game Commission, YWCA Victims’ Resource Center, Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General, Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services, McKean County District Attorney’s Office, U.S. Army, Federal Correctional
