Safety Days for Local Businesses
The Villa Rica Police Department was recently invited by
Harrison Contracting to both attend and present material at their annual safety
day. Harrison Contracting suspends field operations for an entire day to
have all employees assigned to the location attend and hear presentations on
various safety topics. Of note this year was driver safety. The
Villa Rica Police Department was glad to assist in presenting material related
to speeding, safety belts, and impaired driving. This year, an additional
emphasis was placed on distracted driving with more accidents being attributed
to this contributing factor every year. Officers in attendance took
various items related to traffic enforcement and education including a LIDAR,
an auditory distraction exercise, vision impairment “drunk goggles”, and a
multitude of literature on driver’s safety. We appreciate the invitation
and opportunity to help make the roadways safer for everyone.
If you would like for us to help with your company's safety day or would like more information please contact SGT Ethredge at hethredge@villarica.org or (678) 840-1154
