Los Angeles Police Department Pacific Area partners with Safe Moves to promote Back to School Traffic Safety.
Los Angeles Police Department Pacific Area and Safe Moves are coming together with school officials to raise awareness about safety for students.
On Thursday, August 21, 2014, Lieutenant T.J. Kim, Pacific Detective Division, and Pat Hines, Founder of Safe Moves will host a press conference at 10:20 am at Kentwood Elementary School located at 8401 Emerson Ave., Los Angeles CA. 90045.
The goal of the event is to promote traffic safety and educate the children and the driving public about traffic hazards and behaviors of both the drivers and the children.
Traffic safety is a two-way street that requires awareness for both children and drivers. This event addresses both of these audiences with the objective to keep children safe on their way to and from school.
“Safe Moves City”, a miniature city, will be set up to replicate city streets and sidewalks to demonstrate the different traffic hazards facing children.
Also attending the press conference are LAUSD board member Steve Zimmer, LAUSD Earl Perkins, Assistant Superintendent School Operations, LAUSD Brad Smith, Office of Environmental Health and Safety, Daniel Tamm West Area Representative for Mayor Eric Garcetti, LAPD Pacific Area Senior Lead Officer Ruben Garcia, LAPD Pacific Area Senior Lead Officer Gregg Jacobus, LAPD Pacific Area Senior Lead Officer Marcy Garcia, LAPD Pacific Area Police Officer II Nayda Bennyworth, LAPD West Traffic Motor Officers, LAUSPD Officer Posadas, Pat Hines, Safe Moves
