🚨 ASHLAND POLICE DEPARTMENT NOTICE 🚨

🎒📚 **BACK-TO-SCHOOL SAFETY REMINDER FROM THE ASHLAND POLICE DEPARTMENT** 📚🎒

The first day of school is an exciting milestone, and we know parents love capturing those special moments! ❤️📸

Before posting that first-day-of-school photo, take a moment to **PAUSE BEFORE YOU POST.**

A photo can sometimes reveal more information than you realize. Consider avoiding publicly sharing:

🚫 Your child’s **school name**
🚫 Their **teacher’s name**
🚫 Their **grade or classroom information**
🚫 Their **favorite things or personal details**
🚫 School **logos, signs, addresses, or locations**
🚫 Information about other children who may not have permission to be photographed or posted

✅ **What CAN you share?**

You can still celebrate the first day! Consider taking a photo in a neutral location with a simple sign such as:

**“FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! 📚”**

No school name. No teacher name. No classroom information. Just a great picture celebrating your child and this exciting milestone!

Predators can use small pieces of information found online to learn about children, build trust, and potentially determine where they spend time. Taking a few extra seconds before posting can help protect your child both **online and in the real world.**

💙 **Parents, enjoy those first-day photos—but pause before you post!**

The Ashland Police Department is committed to helping keep our community's children safe—both online and offline.

**Have a safe and successful school year! 🍎📚**

🚔💙 WHAT A NIGHT 💙🚔

The Ashland Police Department would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this year’s National Night Out one of our best events to date!

We have heard nothing but positive comments from members of our community, and we truly believe a big part of the evening’s success came from the positive interactions between our officers, families, children, community members, local organizations, and businesses.

Events like National Night Out go a long way toward building and maintaining positive relationships between law enforcement and the community we proudly serve. Seeing officers and community members laughing, talking, playing games, enjoying food, and simply spending time together is exactly what this event is all about. ❤️

A special THANK YOU goes out to every business, organization, volunteer, and community member who donated, sponsored, volunteered, provided activities, brought equipment, supplied food or prizes, or helped in ANY way. Your generosity and support made this event possible!

From the bike helmets and family activities to the games, prizes, food, community partners, and the incredible Life Link helicopter appearance — there was truly something for everyone! 🚁🎉

This event would not be possible without YOU.

The Ashland Police Department is incredibly grateful to live and work in a community that continues to show such amazing support. Thank you for spending the evening with us, for talking with our officers, for bringing your families, and for helping make National Night Out a true celebration of community and connection.

💙 THANK YOU, ASHLAND! 💙

We can't wait to do it again next year! 👮‍♂️👮‍♀️🚔
