Wearing a helmet when riding a bike, saying NO to drugs and alcohol, and being aware of strangers are just a few of the prevention topics that the Sheriff’s Office wants children and their parents to know more about.
We hope SafetyPup will help us get the kids attention so they learn more of these valuable lessons.
