The annual “Santa In the Crosswalk” pedestrian safety event took place yesterday December 15, 2023.
To help remind all road users that good decisions are up to them, no matter how they travel, Police Santa was on hand to cross the road. Police Santa wears police blue and not traditional red; he also carries a radio to notify his “reindeer” that a driver did not yield the right-of-way when he was legally crossing the street.
Officers were available to discuss crossing streets safely, traveling the speed limit, not driving impaired, putting your electronics down, wearing your seat belt: all the things to make streets safer and help you be home for the holidays.
