Programs for Youth:

Child Keeper System:
A child’s photo, fingerprints, medical information emergency contact and other necessary information for a complete record on file is provided to parents for availability in the event of an emergency.
Child Safe Program:
Free gunlocks are provided to discourage unauthorized access to firearms, particularly by young children.
School Programs:
Resource officers promote safety in the school and community. Truancy, drugs and alcohol related problems, emergency and security plans, health and crisis intervention, accidents on school property, counseling, referrals and crime prevention are addressed.
Web-Wise Kids “Missing” Game:
Surveys show that 20 percent of children ages ten through 17 using the Internet have received sexual solicitations online. “Missing” is an interactive cd-rom game designed for students ages eleven through fifteen. The game is based on the true story of a Canadian teen persuaded to leave home by an online predator and to cross international lines to meet personally. In the game, students assist police detectives to find the teen before he disappears. Students learn how to make wise online choices to avoid online predators and to maintain internet safety.
Child Car Seat Inspections:
With new vehicles and new car seats many parents do not know how to properly install their car seats. Therefore, in conjunction with the National Safe Kids Campaign, the Mundy Township Police Department now has a certified car seat technician. The national average for improper use of a car seat is eighty percent. We would like to lower that average in Mundy Township. Call the Mundy Township Police Department for an appointment to have your free car seat inspection.
