KHTS Safety Tip: It is important for parents to be involved in talking to their children about the danger of drugs. Children can feel pressured to try drugs as early as fourth grade. Schools do a lot to educate children on the dangers of drugs, but it’s not enough. Open communication between parents and children shows children how much their parents care for them. Tell your children that you love them and wish for them to be healthy and happy. Make it clear that you do not find illegal drugs and alcohol acceptable. Explain the potential short and long term effects of drug abuse, including associated diseases. Discuss the legal repercussions that can result from abuse. Explore positive alternatives to drug use such as sports, riding bicycles, hikes, games, camping cooking and more. Be honest with your children and speak to them calmly and openly. Actively listen to your children’s concerns. Make sure to not interrupt your children. Remember that you set and example so your behavior will reflect on your children.

Public Safety: It can take seconds for a thief to steal something from your car, so never leave valuables inside. Most vehicle crime is preventable. Don’t make your car a target for thieves by leaving sought-after items such as purses, wallets, laptop computers and cell phones in plain view. Always check you have closed all your windows and locked the doors before leaving your car unattended. While there’s no surefire way to totally prevent your car from being broken into, keeping these tips in mind can make your car less of a target.
