Just ask our students, summer is right around the corner

Dear Parents,

This is a reprint from our DARE officer in Darien. I thought it was important enough for all of you to make sure everyone is aware and safe during our summer break, believe it or not it is right around the corner.

Kids:
Don’t approach a stranger for any reason
Call 9-1-1 Immediately to report the incident
Try and remember the license plate number of any car that approaches you, but don’t put yourself in harm’s way to do it!
Use your cell phone to take a picture of the car / person if you can
Always tell your parent / guardian if a stranger approaches you
Always cross the street at a corner, drivers expect to see you there, not in the middle of the street

Adults:
Be aware of Children playing; please obey the Neighborhood Speed Limit of 25 MPH!
Make sure that you close and lock all doors when you are leaving your home.
Do NOT leave iPods, GPS Units, Cell Phones, other electronics, or their cradles in view in your vehicle; they are very tempting for thieves.
Make sure that you carry your cell phone with you at all times when out in your neighborhood, you never know when you will need to call 9-1-1
