The Tiverton Police Department is hoping you'll join us on Saturday, June 6th from 11am to 3pm at Longplex Family & Sports Complex for our 8th annual public/child safety and wellness day!!
Join officers of the Tiverton Police Department, Firefighters of the Tiverton Fire Department and other special guests to help raise money for Law Enforcement Academic Development Scholarship. There is no rain date for this event. The purpose of Child Safety and Wellness Day is to give kids the opportunity to celebrate the end of the school year while they get familiarized and comfortable interacting with first responders within their community!
The Injury Prevention Center in partnership with SafekidsRI and Safekids Worldwide will be on hand conducting a child safety seat checkpoint where parents can ensure their children are traveling safely in their motor vehicles. Certified technicians will assist parents in checking their child safety seats, as well as, educating parents about the best practices regarding child safety seat installation.
Numerous agencies, businesses and organizations, such as, the Tiverton Police and Fire Departments, the RI National Guard, RI DEM, as well as, RISP will be on hand to educate parents and children in order to prevent injuries and save lives!
There will be plenty of opportunities for all children in attendance to not only have tons of fun, but also the chance to win prizes! As well as numerous raffle baskets not only for kids, but for all you Moms and Dads as well!
It is highly encouraged that children bring their bicycles to the event so they can complete the bicycle rodeo (a bicycle safety course...we will have bikes on hand for kids to use if they don't bring one) put on by RI Bikes.org. Those who successfully complete the course will be recognized by the Tiverton Police Department and presented with a voucher for a free ice cream cone from the Moose Café.
Children will also be provided the opportunity to climb in and on various vehicles, such as police, fire, military and construction vehicles, as well as dunk a Tiverton police officer/firefighter in the dunk tank!
There will be music by The Digg It Band and free face painting by Krissie Tanasio!
