ROOKIE RESPONDER: THE SEQUEL
Ride Smart. Ride Safe.
Parents, we're considering a sequel to our highly successful Rookie Responder class, and we want your input.
The Fulshear Police Department's Rookie Responder program has educated more than 9,500 teenagers and parents about what to do when being pulled over by law enforcement and the extreme dangers of distracted driving.
Now, we're considering taking Rookie Responder a new direction, focusing on a growing safety concern in our neighborhoods: children riding electric scooters, electric bicycles, and electric motorcycles. (Don't worry, we will still be teaching the original Rookie Responder class, this will just be an additional class taught once a month)
These devices are becoming increasingly popular among younger riders. While they offer fun and convenience, they also present serious safety concerns, responsibilities, and legal considerations that many children and even their parents may not fully understand.
Our goal is simple. Educate children, empower parents, and prevent accidents before they happen.
We're considering offering a FREE, fast-paced, interactive safety class specifically designed for younger riders and their parents.

Safety First: Helmets, protective equipment, visibility, and responsible riding habits.
The Dangers: Speeding, distracted riding, unsafe operation, and the potentially life-changing consequences of accidents.
Neighborhood Safety: Navigating streets, intersections, sidewalks, and areas where pedestrians and vehicles interact.
Parents, Know Before You Buy: Christmas is around the corner, understanding the capabilities, classifications, and potential dangers of these devices before purchasing one for your child.

CLASS DETAILS
Location: Fulshear City Hall / Police Department
Duration: One hour or less, depending on questions
Cost: FREE
Attendance: Parents or guardians must attend with their children.
Format: Fast, informative, interactive, and educational.
No lengthy lectures or complicated presentations. Just straightforward information that children and parents can understand and put into practice.
We don't want to discourage children from enjoying these devices. We want to make sure they understand the rules, recognize the dangers, and develop safe riding habits.
Because sometimes the most important safety equipment isn't something you wear. It's what you know.
