Meet Officer Harris, he’s been with our agency for two and a half years but is the newest member of our Community Resource Unit, so of course we had to make him do a ridiculous
#FirstDayOfSummer photo. Thanks for being a good sport Officer Harris, welcome to the
#CRU!
All jokes aside, living in Florida chances are you will be around water. Here are some water safety tips to keep in mind all year long:
BE INFORMED:
• Drowning is a quick and silent killer.
• Backyard pools/spas need fences and alarms.
• Commonly used floaties are not lifesaving devices.
• Alcohol and water activities are a bad mix.
BE ALERT:
• Danger zones: bathtubs, buckets, toilets, lakes, pools and spas.
• Visual supervision is a must. Don’t be distracted while kids are in the water.
• Reach and throw – Don’t go!
• Summer sun, water fun, if trouble comes, call 9-1-1.
BE PREPARED:
• Learn to swim.
• Learn CPR for the family.
• Keep safety equipment nearby.
