As we all enjoy the summer break, we know that our teen drivers are out on the roadways, whether it's driving to sports practice, games, pow-wows, or horse races. It is important to talk to your teens about safe driving.

Reminders for Teens:
-Wear your seatbelt and make sure all passengers wear their seat belts, for every ride.
-Limit passengers and avoid other distractions.
-Never use alcohol, ma*****na, or other drugs and drive.
-Stay alert, never drive drowsy.
-Follow the speed limit and rules of the road.
-Move over for emergency responders, construction workers, and cars on the shoulder.
-Safely share the road with others, drivers/walkers/bikers.
-Never handle a cell phone while driving. Stay focused on the road.

Buckle Up, Someone Loves you!

Good news! We made it past the first step in making the freshman impact program mandatory for all reservation schools. Today Kimimila Jack, and Terra Garnier brought forth a resolution to the education committee. It was passed by the committee and will go in front of full council. This is an awesome positive step forward in educating our young drivers across the homeland in a positive way.
(not pictured) Thanks Trooper Long Soldier for assisting in the process!

Relatives
It's that time again! Come out and cheer them on folks. It's all good fun for everyone. Come out and meet the officers and fire suppression crews as they gut it out in a friendly game.
Fire will probably have a young set of legs detailed to the area, again, but the officers are determined.

Click It or Ticket mobilization took place for May 11th thru 31st.

OSTDPS Highway Safety conducted 2 Child Car Seat Clinics, one in Sharps Corner and one in Pine Ridge village. We also had several car seat distributions in our office.
We would like to say Thank You to all the parents/grandparents that came over to receive a car seat for your little ones. And special thank you to the Baptist Church in Sharps and Sacred Heart Church for allowing us to utilize your parking lots for our clinics.

Remember that all babies under age 2 shall be rear-facing. All children under 4 foot 9 should be in a booster seat. Never put children under the age of 12 in the front seat. Back Seat is the safest.

It's never okay to leave a child alone in a vehicle for any amount of time. Children are most at risk for heatstroke because their body temperature rises 3 to 5 times faster than an adult's. Heatstroke is one of the leading causes of non-crash vehicle related fatalities among children. Parents/Guardians/Caregivers say they will never forget their children in vehicles but never does happen. Since 1998 1,010 children have died from vehicular heatstroke in the US. Each of these deaths was preventable.

TAKE ACTION! If you see a child alone in a vehicle, act immediately and call 911. Remove them from the hot vehicle and begin to rapidly cooling them until emergency services arrive.
