The Safety Pup Program is an educational initiative developed in partnership with the National Child Safety Council (NCSC) to teach children important safety lessons in a fun and engaging way. Topics covered include stranger danger, traffic safety, and drug prevention, all delivered through interactive presentations and the lovable mascot, "Safety Pup," to make the learning experience both memorable and impactful.

By collaborating with the NCSC and using programs like Safety Pup, the department works to build trust, educate its youngest citizens, and promote a safer environment for all. Safety Pup Day is celebrated on February 12th.
