Annual Safety Fair Makes an Effort for a Safer San Bernardino

Teaching safety in all aspects of life was the goal of San Bernardino’s Annual Safety Fair, hosted by the San Bernardino City Unified School District and the San Bernardino Police Department. Multiple organizations were invited to the event to promote a wide array of services available to the community, ranging from crime prevention to health. The San Bernardino Police Department booth offered tips to avoid auto theft along with more tips on safe driving. The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department offered information on the multiple crime prevention programs they offer. A small obstacle course was set up by the Rialto Police Department to teach kids how to cross the street safely. The obstacle course consisted of wooden board buses and traffic signs that directed the children when it was safe to cross a street. Not only did the obstacle course teach children to cross the street safely, but also how to cross a railroad crossing safely. Coloring books and stickers were handed out to teach children the importance of safety in their community. On the center stage, the kid’s karate team of the Adrenaline Club was giving demonstrations on different exercises for self-defense. Also, the Martin Luther King Middle School cheer team performed various routines to entertain the crowd. The Junior Explorers of the San Bernardino School Police Department, who are trained in law enforcement, helped run the event by volunteering to barbecue burgers and guide the attendees around the fair. Sgt. Tammy Land, coordinator of the safety fair, said, “The goal of the fair is to promote safety within the community and the school district and bring all the agencies together so we can provide all the information and services people may need." Land explained she hopes that the fair brings back the vitality into San Bernardino by helping the businesses present at the fair draw more patrons into their shops.
