🚨 MONDAY MYTHBUSTER 🚨

Myth: After an accident, it’s okay to leave the scene and file a police report later.

Fact: Leaving the scene can create safety concerns and may make it more difficult to file a report later—especially if you are no longer in the jurisdiction where the accident occurred.

Always stop, check for injuries, exchange information, and contact 911 if needed.

Staying at the scene helps ensure accurate information is gathered, and everyone stays safe.

This impactful program gives students a real look at the consequences of impaired and distracted driving, and today, the Seckman students did an incredible job bringing that message to life.

Training Coordinator Manley, TC Lewis, and TC Notbusch did an outstanding job representing our agency's role in this type of incident. We’re grateful to be part of efforts like this that help educate, empower, and hopefully save lives.
