โฑ๏ธ When someone goes into sudden cardiac arrest, every second counts. Each year from June 1-7, National CPR and AED (Automated External Defibrillator) Awareness Week highlights the importance of CPR and AED use.

๐Ÿ“Š According to the American Red Cross, more than 1,600 people suffer cardiac arrest each day in the United States. That means someone near you may need your help at any moment.

โค๏ธ Knowing CPR and how to use an AED could save a life.
โค๏ธ It could be a family member.
โค๏ธ It could be a friend.
โค๏ธ It could be a neighbor.
โค๏ธ It could even save your own life someday.

Today, we celebrate the many benefits of cyclingโ€”whether it's for exercise, recreation, or simply enjoying the beautiful scenery along the Gretna Levee.

As you ride, remember that safety comes first:

โœ… Always wear a properly fitted helmet.
โœ… Stay alert and avoid distractions.
โœ… Obey all traffic signs and signals.
โœ… Ride in designated areas and be mindful of pedestrians.
โœ… Use lights and reflective gear when riding in low-light conditions.
โœ… Keep a safe speed and maintain control of your bicycle at all times.

The Gretna Levee is a great place to enjoy a ride, but sharing the path safely helps ensure everyone has a positive experience. Whether you're cycling, walking, or jogging, courtesy and awareness go a long way.

Let's work together to keep the Gretna Levee safe and enjoyable for everyone. Have fun, stay active, and ride safely!

๐Ÿ“ข BIG NEWS FOR PARENTAL RIGHTS & CHILD SAFETY ๐Ÿ“ข

Gretna Police Chief Brett Lawson is proud to announce the successful passage of Louisiana House Bill 106 during the 2026 Regular Session!

The legislation, authored by Representative Vincent Cox III, officially became Act No. 286 after being sent to the Governor on May 19, 2026, and signed into law on May 22, 2026.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ What This Means For Our Community:

This crucial new law protects our youngest residents by restricting child day care centers from administering nonprescription medication, specifically melatonin, to children without explicit parental approval.

"Your child's health and safety should always be in your hands. This law ensures that parents have the final, explicit say in what is being given to their children while in daycare." โ€” Chief Brett Lawson

๐Ÿ“… Key Date to Remember:

*Effective Date: August 1, 2026

We want to extend a huge thank you to Representative Vincent Cox III for championing this legislation, and to our community for always prioritizing the safety and well-being of our children.
