Education and Safety Programs
The Laurel Police Department supports and participates in many educational programs focusing on crime prevention, bicycle safety, drug abuse, child safety, and residential and business security. Listed on this page are some examples of educational programs offered by the Laurel Police Department.
DARE Program | Bicycle Safety Program | Crime Prevention Education
The D.A.R.E. Program is positive and substantive. It avoids scare tactics and relies on accurate information and a straight-forward approach. D.A.R.E. Officers will visit classes, conduct faculty workshops and present programs to parent/teacher organizations in addition to their assigned classroom instruction.
Each year, more than half a million bicyclists visit the doctor or the emergency room after crashing on their bikes. It's important to teach children bicycle safety. The Laurel Police Department participates in bicycle safety training and bike rodeos.
