Events and activities going on around Citrus Heights this week include several “SWAT team up close” presentations, a community marching band yard sale, an international writer’s event at the community center, and more.

Kicking off the week on both Monday and Tuesday night, the Citrus Heights Police Department’s SWAT team will be finishing off their April tour of neighborhood association meetings around the city. SWAT members will show a video highlighting the team’s training and leaders, and will also display tactical equipment used in emergencies and answer any questions from the community.

The Sylvan Old Auburn Road neighborhood meeting will be on April 27 at 7 p.m. in the Sylvan Community Center at 7521 Community Drive, and the Sunrise Ranch Neighborhood meeting will be on April 28 at 7 p.m. at Twin Oaks Avenue Baptist Church at the corner of Mariposa Avenue and Twin Oaks. Both meetings will highlight the SWAT team presentation, along with covering regular business.
