DARE TO D.A.R.E.! Summer Safety Tips The summer months bring a lot of fun and excitement to kids of all ages. Sergeant Kasey Fitts would like to offer some tips that will help make your summer months safer and more enjoyable. l When out in the warm weather and sun, be sure to wear sunscreen and drinks lots of water. This will help to prevent sun burns and dehydration. l Make good choices when hanging out with friends. Peer pressure does not only take place at school. l Be responsible and make good decisions when using social media. If you do not want it posted on your family’s refrigerator for everyone to see, do not post it online. What you post lasts FOREVER. l If you feel like what you are doing may be wrong, it probably is. l Do not talk to strangers or accept rides from people you do not know. l When home alone, make sure you have a list of emergency phone numbers within easy reach. l Use insect repellents to guard against ticks, which can carry Lyme Disease, and mosquitoes, which can carry the West Nile Virus and other viruses. l Wear a helmet when riding bicycles and recreational vehicles. l Follow safety rules and instructions when around water. l Never play hide and seek by crawling inside an enclosed space such as a car trunk, chest, or old cooler, or appliance. l HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!! Hope this summer is fun, safe and full of many great memories. For more information, contact: Sergeant Kasey Fitts at: kasey.fitts@tn.gov or (615) 854-5675 D.A.R.E Coordinator Tennessee
