Officers will be conducting random walkthroughs throughout the school year to maintain a visible presence and help keep our schools safe.

If you see our squad cars outside the schools, don’t be alarmed — we’re simply dropping by to visit, check in, and show support.

If your child sees an officer, encourage them to say hello! 👋 We want our officers to be familiar, friendly faces in our schools and build positive relationships with the students we serve.

Happy Friday!

Staying alert and following the rules of the road helps keep everyone safe.

🚗 Be aware of speed zone changes. Pay attention to posted speed limits, especially when entering school zones and residential areas.

📱 Put the phone down while driving. In 2024, more than 315,000 people were injured and 3,208 people were killed in crashes involving distracted drivers, according to NHTSA.

🚨 Move over for emergency vehicles. When approaching stopped emergency vehicles with activated flashing emergency lights, slow down and move over when it is safe and legal to do so. If the emergency vehicle is traveling - slow down, move over, and STOP until passed.

😴 Don’t drive overly tired. Fatigue can affect your reaction time and judgment just like other forms of impairment.

🍺 Never drive impaired. If you’ve been drinking or are impaired by drugs or medication, find a safe alternative to get home.

REMINDER: Biking or riding a scooter? 🛴 🚲

• Obey traffic laws, signs, and signals.

• Ride in the same direction as traffic.

• Use lights and reflectors when riding at night. (WHITE LIGHT IN FRONT & RED IN REAR)

Staying safe in public isn’t about being paranoid — it’s about situational awareness, being prepared, and trusting your instincts.

👀 Stay aware of your surroundings. Whether you're walking alone in an unfamiliar area or heavy populated city, always pay extra attention to the people and activity around you.

📱 Put the phone down when you can. Avoid texting, scrolling, or wearing headphones for long moments in public so you can stay alert to what’s happening around you.

🚪 Know where exits are. When entering a building, take a moment to identify the nearest exits. Knowing where you can safely leave ahead of time can save valuable seconds during an emergency.

🌙 If you’re going out late, consider sharing your location with someone you trust and let them know when you expect to be home.

🔑 Have your keys in hand when approaching your vehicle. Avoid standing outside your vehicle searching through your belongings.

👥 Use the buddy system when possible. There is safety in numbers, especially when walking or going out at night. If you’re alone, always walk with a purpose.

⚠️ Trust your instincts. If something or someone makes you uncomfortable, immediately leave the area.

🔐 Keep your personal information private. Be mindful of what you share with strangers and what you post publicly online.

Being aware of your surroundings can give you valuable time to recognize a potentially dangerous situation and make a safer decision. Your safety starts with you.

✨Dispatch Spotlight

Dede has 23 years of service with the Havana Police Department. Dede advised her favorite part of the job is helping people during critical moments of their life and knowing every call she answers is an opportunity to make a difference in the community.

Being a dispatcher takes patience, focus, quick thinking, and the ability to stay calm when situations are not. Whether it’s answering a difficult call, getting responders where they need to be, or keeping the radio flowing during a busy shift, dispatchers are a crucial part of every step.

Thank you for being our constant support, safe voice, and lifeline!
