The Coon Rapids Police Department and the Coon Rapids Fire Department have once again teamed up to offer a Home Alone Safety Class designed for kids. This move comes as a response to growing concerns among parents about leaving their children unattended. The class, scheduled for Thursday, March 14th, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, promises to teach kids aged 8 to 12 how to stay safe when no adult is home.

According to a post on the Coon Rapids Police Department's Facebook page, this educational opportunity is back by popular demand. The event, emphasizing safety and awareness, will cover a range of topics, including handling emergencies, first aid, and responsible decision-making. Registration is already underway, and while Coon Rapids residents will be given preference, the program is open to all.

Parents interested in signing their children up for the class can visit the official Active Communities registration page. The direct link provided by the Coon Rapids Police Department ensures easy access to sign-up. As with any program that concerns the well-being of children, parents are encouraged to act quickly, as seats tend to fill up fast.
