Sergeant Givens and Officer Chism had a great time connecting with the freshman students at Rosa Scott!

Students learned about the dangers of impaired driving and had the opportunity to experience firsthand how impairment can affect their vision, balance, and judgment by wearing impaired-driving goggles.

A big THANK YOU to Rosa Scott for welcoming us into your school and allowing us to engage with your students on such an important topic. Educating our youth today can help make our roads safer for everyone tomorrow!
