CEDAR PARK, TX — You can become a crime fighter while doing something as mundane as walking your dog, according to police.
The Cedar Park Police Department will be staging a dog walker class to teach residents how to become more vigilant to their surroundings. The class will focus on how to focus less on calls, texting or listening to music and more on becoming more attuned to one's surroundings to sense if anything is amiss.
This class is scheduled on Monday, Oct. 2, from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at 911 Quest Parkway.
