CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The Corpus Christi Police Department's annual Operation Safe Return health and safety fair is back in its in-person format this year after COVID-19 forced it to be modified over the last few years.

Saturday's event will feature health screenings, school safety information, music, giveaways, school supplies and demonstrations from CCPD's SWAT, as well as its motorcycle and bicycle units, and other officers will be available for meet-and-greets throughout the morning and afternoon.
A distracted driving simulator will be present at the event and extracurricular activities for after school will be promoted. Planning and financial tips for college preparation will also be available.
Parents and students will be able to receive these items free of charge:
- School supplies
- Dental education
- Hair cut vouchers
- Sports physicals
- Immunizations
