Law Enforcement Officials Seek Community Participation in Lifesaving Initiative
Maryland State Police Salisbury Barrack will join more than one hundred law enforcement agencies across the state in an effort to educate the public on the lifesaving and injury-reducing benefits of safety belt/child seat use. Additional attention will focus on the reduction of aggressive driving and driving while impaired. This campaign will take place from May through December 2009.
The Maryland Chiefs of Police, Sheriffs, Campus Safety Directors, and Maryland State Police Barrack Commanders challenge their law enforcement personnel to design community-outreach programs and events, to recruit community partners, and to conduct enhanced educational and enforcement initiatives. In Wicomico County, state and local law enforcement officials assisted Pepsi Cola with their Safety Day Event on Monday May 4, 2009 at the Pepsi plant on Goodard Rd in Salisbury, Wicomico Co., MD. This event was hosted by the Pepsi Cola Company to help keep both their drivers, administrative staff and families aware of safety in all aspects of their job functions. The Maryland State Police was present with their Seatbelt Convincer, a machine that is designed to show you what a crash would feel like at 10-15 mph. The State Fire Marshall’s Office was present with the bomb recovery remote control robot, along with Deputies from the Wicomico Sheriff Office, Wicomico Co. Haz-mat Response Team and DP&L Accident Response Team. This educational program coordinated by Pepsi Cola was created to raise awareness not just for safe driving habits but all aspects of their employees’ job functions.
Join us, as we increase awareness of safety belt/child seat use and decrease aggressive and impaired driving in Maryland.
It's sorta funny seeing this post. I received a phone call on my private line in my office (I had to answer it sitting on the floor with a phone I dug out of storage, probably dating back to the 80's, and also no caller id...the thief that broke into my Salon on Sun early am also stole my new up to date phone with my additional handsets) The caller said he was from the MD State Chief's something for children...I really think this call was a scam. The man was very, very, very rude. He was not the least bit interested in it not being a good time to talk, I finally had to hang up on him. I hope these calls don't put a damper on this event.
