🦌🚨 DEER RUT SEASON IS HERE — DRIVE WITH CAUTION! 🚨🦌

The Bel Aire Police Department would like to remind motorists that deer rut (mating season) is beginning, which means deer will be more active and unpredictable over the next several weeks.

During this time, deer are more likely to cross roadways unexpectedly, increasing the risk of vehicle collisions.

⚠️ SAFETY REMINDERS:

🦌 Slow Down: Be especially cautious during dawn and dusk when deer are most active.

🚗 Stay Alert: Watch for deer along roadways, especially near wooded areas, fields, and open spaces.

💡 Use Your Headlights: Use high beams when appropriate to help spot deer sooner.

🦌 Expect More Than One: Deer often travel in groups. If you see one, there may be others nearby.

📵 Avoid Distractions: Keep your eyes on the road and your attention on driving.

⚠️ If a deer enters the roadway, brake firmly and avoid swerving into oncoming traffic or off the road. Hitting a deer is dangerous, but losing control of your vehicle can have even more serious consequences.

🚔 The Bel Aire Police Department encourages everyone to slow down, remain vigilant, and use extra caution while traveling this fall.

Remember, deer don’t look both ways before crossing — that’s why we need YOU to!

🍂 Stay alert. Slow down. Arrive alive.

🎀 BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH 🎀

Throughout the month of October, you may notice something a little different on our officers’ uniforms. Bel Aire Police Officers will proudly be wearing pink badges in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

These badges represent more than just a change in color. They are worn in honor of the courageous women who have survived breast cancer, those who are currently fighting the disease, and in remembrance of those who lost their battle.

Nearly everyone knows someone—a family member, friend, coworker, or loved one—whose life has been touched by breast cancer. During October, we proudly wear pink to show our support, raise awareness, and honor the strength and courage of those affected.

💗 To the survivors—we celebrate you.
💗 To those still fighting—we stand with you.
💗 To those we have lost—we remember you.

Bel Aire Police Department
Proudly wearing pink this October. 🎀
