NHPD Safety Tips for Back to School
Traveling to and from School
Plan a walking route to school or the bus stop. Choose the most direct way with the fewest street crossings and, if possible, with intersections that have crossing guards.
Walk the route with your child beforehand. Tell him or her to stay away from parks, vacant lots, fields and other places where there aren’t many people around.
Teach your child never to talk to strangers or accept rides or gifts from strangers. Remember, a stranger is anyone you or your children don’t know well or don’t trust.
Make sure your child walks to and from school with a sibling, friend, or neighbor.
Teach your kids — whether walking, biking, or riding the bus to school — to obey all traffic signals, signs and traffic officers. Remind them to be extra careful in bad weather.
If your child bikes to school make sure he wears a helmet that meets one of the safety standards (U.S. CPSC, Snell, ANSI, ASTM, or Canadian). Research indicates that a helmet can reduce the risk of head injury by up to 85 percent.
Be sure that your child knows his or her home phone number and address, your work number, the number of another trusted adult and how to call 911 for emergencies.
Avoid any drawstrings on the hood or around the neck of jackets and sweatshirts. Drawstrings at the waist or bottom of jackets should
extend no more than three inches long to prevent catching in car and school bus doors or getting caught on playground equipment.
Bullying
Make sure you discuss bullying with your child and that he or she knows to report it to you or a teacher.
Notify Police or school administrators if you suspect your child is being bullied.
Strangers
Avoid talking to strangers. Teach your children to get distance between themselves and anyone who tries to approach or make contact with them.
If a stranger does approach your child, make sure they know to immediately report the incident to you or a teacher.
Teach your children to never get into a vehicle with anyone, even if they know them, without your permission.
School Resource Officers
Have your child introduce themselves to the SRO
Social Media
Monitor your child’s social media or texting interactions so you can identify problems before they get out of hand.
Disable Location-based services. Location-based services can be one of the most dangerous features provided by social networking sites. It exposes the profile user’s location and whereabouts. The service also has a feature that allows users to tag who they are with at any given time. While it can be fun to share your location with friends and family, it can also increase your vulnerability, potentially opening you up to being a crime victim.
Predators can use this tool to track your movements and determine when you are alone or when you are not at home.
New Haven – Mayor Toni N. Harp will hold a ‘mayor’s night out’ tomorrow evening, Wednesday, August 30, at the Celentano School – 400 Canner Street, New Haven – from 7:00 until 8:30 p.m. Mayor Harp will be joined by Ward #9 Alder Jessica Holmes, Ward #10 Alder Anna Festa, and Ward #19 Alder Alfreda Edwards.
The mayor, the alders, and members of Mayor Harp’s administration will be available to meet with residents during these public ‘office hours’ – residents are invited to ask questions, make suggestions, and otherwise address matters pertaining to New Haven and its governance.
The timing of this session is particularly important as New Haven is about to begin the third month of its fiscal year without the benefit of an approved state budget. Residents’ questions and comments will be addressed on a first come, first served basis. No reservations or appointments are necessary.
