Burlington Tots Learn Back to School Safety with Burlington Police Department at 46th Annual Safety Town at Burlington Mall

For the 46th year in a row, the Burlington Police Department’s Traffic Division, will be hosting their Annual ‘Safety Town’ at Burlington Mall for local kindergartners and first graders, with a goal of helping to reduce the risk of child-pedestrian injuries and fatalities.

Safety Town is a child-sized town, complete with buildings, crosswalks, and street signs that will be used to teach pedestrian, traffic, and bus safety, all within a supervised environment. Burlington Police will instruct children on proper conduct for various traffic situations and the correct way to get on and off the school bus. Participants of Safety Town will also receive a diploma for completing the course!
