52ND ANNUAL SAFETY TOWN The El Paso Police Department, Bassett Place Mall, and other participating law enforcement and public assistance agencies participated in the 52nd Annual Safety Town. Safety Town provides children ages five- to six-years-old a safe and fun environment to learn about safety in many different topics. Among the topics covered are: bicycle safety, electrical safety, water safety, stranger danger, drug awareness, fire safety, and more. At the event, 124 students graduated from the Safety Town course. These children will not only go on to practice safety when dealing with different situations, but will show their friends and family all the safety training they received, extending the impact the course has on the community. The Safety Town event has been a tradition since 1966 and continues to grow every year with a goal of educating El Paso’s youth on safety. EL PASO POLICE DEPARTMENT • COMMUNITY EVENTS
