Impaired Driving and Vape Education Day LCHS

On Thursday, April 6th, HPD in conjunction with the Lincoln Trail Health Department hosted an impaired driving demonstration and a vape education presentation to roughly 300 Juniors and Seniors. HPD brought the Simulated Impaired Driving Experience (SIDNE) Cart in order to let the students get a small sense of the dangers of impaired and distracted driving via a new perspective by being able to drive the cart using multiple forms of impairment goggles. Drunk driving is a significant issue in many communities, causing devastating accidents and more than 11,000 fatalities in the United States in 2020 alone.

CDC Releases Youth Risk Behavior Summary

About a week ago, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention published a press release highlighting recent data and statistics on the nation’s adolescent/young adult population- most specifically high school students. The data particularly focuses on the health trends and behaviors among high school students including but not limited to sexual health, substance abuse, suicidal thoughts, and behaviors, the occurrence of violence, housing insecurity, and other systemic factors such as parental involvement and monitoring. The data also pays special homage to how factors such as age, gender, orientation, and race may change one’s experiences. The study includes 10-year trends that can really be beneficial for further insight into what youth experiences look like in order to better inform our intervention and prevention practices in order to achieve the best efficacy with problem-solving.

Appointment Booking

We have now added an appointment booking section! As always, our lobby will remain open for anyone to walk in at any time. However, as we are a small department- we often cannot anticipate who will be at the police department at any given time as we are often out in the community responding to calls.
