📢 Labor Day Weekend Safety Reminder

Labor Day weekend is a time to relax, fire up the grill, spend time with family and friends, and enjoy the last unofficial weekend of summer. ☀️

Before you head out, keep these safety tips in mind:
🚗 Buckle up every trip. Make sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained.

🍺 Drive sober. If you drink, designate a driver, call a rideshare, or walk to get home safely.

📱 Put the phone down. Distracted driving can wait.

🏠 Lock it up. Secure your home, vehicle, and valuables before heading out of town.

🔥 Use extra caution around grills and fire. Keep children and pets a safe distance away.

🌊 Be smart around the water. Never leave children unattended and always use appropriate flotation devices.

🚨 Look out for one another. If you see something dangerous, say something.

*Our administrative offices will be closed Monday, Sept 7; however our police services are always available 24/7*

From all of us at the Lee’s Summit Police Department, have a safe and happy Labor Day weekend!
