Safety Village

In June, Sheriff Gene A. Kelly's Community Services Division will conduct the Safety Village program in three Clark County areas. Safety Village is a basic safety educational program for Clark County children entering kindergarten.

Safety lessons include pedestrian, motorist, stranger-danger, fire, street and safety signs, railroad crossings, home safety, 9-1-1, personal safety, vandalism, D.A.R.E. concepts, shoplifting/theft, drugs and poisons. These safety awareness lessons are conducted over a period of 2 1/2 hours per day. A graduation ceremony will be held on the last day of the program.

The safety village message is simple-- "To keep Themselves Safe." The children will practice and experience situations so they can make the right, safe decision when confronted with real life dangerous situations.

The Safety Village program is co-sponsored by the Clark County Schools, the Springfield Pilot club, the Clark County Farm Bureau and the Clark County Sheriff's Office.

If you need additional information or have any questions, please contact the Clark County Sheriff's Office at (937) 521-2100

ENROLLMENT IS LIMITED AND ON A FIRST COME BASIS.

Children must attend the full four days to graduate on Thursday. Children may attend any location, but can only attend one session. The course is free, but it will be the parents responsibility to provide transportation.

To register your child you will need to go to your child's school and pick up a Safety Village form. Registration forms must be received by May 23, 2007

Please mail forms to.
