Have a safe and enjoyable Labor Day Weekend
On behalf of the Penn College police department, we wish you a safe and enjoyable Labor Day weekend. As the unofficial end of summer, this holiday often involves travel and celebrations, so we ask for your cooperation in keeping our roads and communities safe.
For drivers: Stay safe on the road:
- Don't drive impaired: If your holiday plans include alcohol or drugs, plan for a sober ride home. Use a taxi, rideshare service, or designated driver. Remember that even over-the-counter medications can affect your driving.
- Avoid distractions: Put away your phone and other electronic devices. Two seconds of distraction doubles your chance of an accident.
- Slow down: With heavy holiday traffic, be patient and obey all posted speed limits, especially in construction zones.
-
Wear a seatbelt: Always buckle up. A seatbelt is your vehicle's most important safety feature, but it only works if you use it.
At home and in the community: - Secure your home: If you are traveling, lock all doors and windows.
- Celebrate responsibly: Whether you are grilling or hosting, stay safe. Supervise children and use caution with fire.
-
Watch for suspicious activity: Be vigilant and report any suspicious activity in your neighborhood to law enforcement.
By working together, we can ensure this holiday is a safe and memorable one for everyone. Have fun, celebrate responsibly, and arrive alive!
