SPRINGVILLE PUBLIC SAFETY REMINDERS!

Springville’s Department of Public Safety would like to remind residents to be extra cautious during the summer months.

Now that school is officially “out” for the summer, children will be riding bicycles, playing ball and generally “being kids” all over town. One need only drive by the new “lazy river” near City Hall to see just how busy these youngsters can be!

As police officers we are called way too frequently to traffic accidents involving children. We would encourage motorists to slow down and be extra diligent while driving through out neighborhoods or near parks and schools.

As a side note, if you are planning to leave for a few days vacation, please follow these simple rules:

• Let a trusted friend or neighbor know when you plan to leave and have them pick up you mail etc.
• Lock doors and windows before leaving.
• Find someone to care for your pets on a daily basis.

You may also contact the Police Department and let us know if you will be gone for an extended period of time.
