Safety Town is returning! This free program is for all children entering kindergarten in Fall 2025. It will be held 8 a.m. to noon Monday, June 2, 2025, through Friday, June 6, 2025, at Barranca Elementary School.
Participating children will engage in hands-on activities, arts and crafts projects, public safety interaction and controlled safety situations they may encounter at school, home and/or in the community.
Safety Town guides young children through:
- Bicycle and helmet safety;
- Traffic safety while on a bicycle;
- Intersection safety;
- Wild and domestic animal safety;
- Who to contact for emergencies;
- Building and strengthening self-esteem at school, at home and in the community; and
- Enjoyment in a safe, well-supervised and engaging learning environment.
LAPD would like to thank both the Los Alamos Public Schools Foundation and Los Alamos Century Bank for their generous donations of bicycle helmets for this event.
This program is sponsored by Los Alamos Public Schools, Los Alamos Century Bank, and the Los Alamos Police Department. More than 800 children have enjoyed participation in Safety Town since the program began in 2015 at the behest of Los Alamos Police Chief Dino Sgambellone.
